Beginner Blacksmithing – Barbecue Tools
Entry Level Class (No prerequisite required) in Blacksmithing
Enjoy the use of your own hand-made accessories and fire up the grill! Learn to make twisted skewers and a steak-turner. This beginning level class will cover shop safety, fire management, tools and equipment, and appropriate use of the anvil. Beginners will develop their tapering, bending, twisting, and punching skills. These techniques are a crucial ingredient for more advanced blacksmithing projects.
What to Wear in the Metals Studio?
You must dress safely and appropriately. Arrive for class in all-natural fiber clothing, long pants, and closed-toe, closed-heel shoes with socks that protect up to the ankle. Long hair must be tied back. Nylon, polyester, spandex, or other synthetics are not allowed around machines, equipment, or processes that can produce hot fragments, sparks, or flames. Layers are encouraged, as the studio can be very cold or very hot.
Welding students are recommended to wear long sleeve shirts to prevent arc-flash burns. Additional protective gear shall be provided as needed.
