Forging II

Forging II is an advanced blacksmithing workshop designed to help participants refine their heat and hammer control. This session focuses on strengthening your foundational skills to gain greater command over moving hot metal through deliberate practice and expert guidance.

During this workshop, you will explore intermediate techniques including bending, upsetting, and forging decorative elements like leaves. We will also introduce specialized equipment such as bending forks, swage blocks, and cone mandrels. You will learn how these professional tools function and discover how they significantly simplify the process of shaping metal into complex forms. Each exercise is structured to build upon your existing knowledge, providing clear methods to improve your technical execution at the anvil.

This class is strictly for those who have already completed the Forging Intro course. It provides a focused environment for dedicated makers looking to advance their craft.
