This workshop is an exploration of form and function, paired with skill refinement and material fluency, through the creation of purposeful and decorative functional objects.
Diving deep into techniques of forging, forming, planishing, and assembly by cold construction, students make an assortment of hand wrought practical utilitarian items: cocktail pick, olive fork, tomato spear, cheese knife, mustard spoon, pudding trowel, and letter opener, with copper, brass, and bronze.
Basic metalsmithing experience is required.
