Workshop: Intermediate Blacksmithing

Forge your own cooking fork in the historic Field Blacksmith Shop! Participants will be expected to have prior blacksmithing experience and an understanding of the tools and basic techniques. This workshop will cover splitting and tapering tines, rounding material using a swage set, forging set-downs, and bending. If time allows, participants may also have a chance to hand file their work. Participants will need to bring sturdy footwear (preferably leather work boots) and wear natural-fiber clothing (such as cotton or wool). Tools and protective gear such as safety glasses and aprons will be provided – participants are welcome to bring their own if preferred.

$110 members; $120 non-members. Includes materials and lunch.
