This 2 hour intro workshop offers a unique opportunity to laymen to experience the hot steel forging process first hand. In this introduction to knife making and forging, students will learn proper tool use and shop safety, as well as the principles of design and fabrication of the forged blade and other projects in steel.
The class format is both lecture and demonstration, however students will be able to get some hands on practice at the end of class. Students will also receive handouts detailing how to register for the full blade forging class where you will forge your own knife or sword at the Fire Arts Center of Chicago.
Please note:
Students should complete their classes within a year of purchase.
