With Mark & Mindy Gardner August 18-22 2008
This 5 day course will focus on the fundamentals of forging and using the tools needed to learn the techniques of Chasing and Repoussé on steel using a treadle hammer. You will begin your journey by learning the fundamentals and forging your own set of tools out of S7 tool steel. You will then tackle a series of projects ranging from a leaf to a feather; then ultimately onto designing your own steel medallion. You will not only learn the techniques needed to use the treadle hammer and tools, but you will also have an opportunity to use heat to color your projects to add that essential touch of life to your work. This class is perfect for the beginner up to the advanced smith. You will leave with the pride and knowledge to enjoy this art form for years to come.
