Explore the creative side of blacksmithing and metal work in this hands-on workshop focused on forged sculpture. We’ll cover the essentials of turning ideas into three-dimensional steel forms: sketching, shaping, texturing, and assembling sculptural elements. Students will start with small studies in paper and oil clay before moving on to a personal project in steel.
The class will highlight finishing techniques—including surface prep, patinas, and color work—to help your sculpture come alive. Students will leave with a stronger sense of design, technique, and artistic direction, and depending on experience level a completed piece. Some forging experience is helpful, but all motivated learners are welcome.
