We will cover how to use basic metalsmithing tools, and a variety of items to texture metal including texturing hammers, hammering with common household items, and others!

We will also discuss how shaping and forming of metals can be done using forging on stakes and anvils and mandrels. Last, we will cover how to properly finish your piece which you will take home.

Materials and tools will be supplied. Just bring your imagination! Ages 13 and up.
