Forging II

Forging II is an intermediate blacksmithing workshop designed to help participants refine their metalworking techniques and improve heat and hammer control. This session focuses on advancing your fundamental skills to provide a deeper understanding of how to effectively move and shape hot metal.

Throughout the workshop you will practice essential metalworking methods such as bending and upsetting while learning to forge decorative elements like leaves. We will introduce specialized tools including bending forks, swage blocks, and cone mandrels to demonstrate how these instruments assist in complex shaping tasks. Each exercise is structured to help you gain more confidence and precision at the anvil.

This class is open to anyone who has successfully completed the prerequisite Forging Intro course. If you want to build on your initial experience and elevate your craftsmanship, this workshop offers the hands-on instruction you need. Please ensure you meet the prerequisite requirement before registering for this session. Join us to refine your technique, master new tool applications, and take your blacksmithing abilities to the next level in a focused and professional environment.
