Description
This is for you Kelly and Nov 26th
This three hour hands on class will introduce you to blacksmithing and working with hot iron to make useful objects. You will learn techniques like drawing out, bending, twisting, and more to create a herb chopper to take home with you. We will also cover correct hammer technique, and use of anvils, vises, and tongs.
I will show you how to forge a unique herb chopper from steel. First we will shape the steel into the correct form using hammers and then bend it into the correct shape so it can fit in your hand. We will then forge a rough bevel to start to sharpen the blade, and then the final shape will be formed using a grinder. The instructor will grind the final bevel and sharpen the herb chopper.
We will talk about different designs and techniques and then you can forge any design that you would like!
These herb choppers are excellent for chopping free herbs, vegetables, and fruits. Your friends and family will be amazed by your skills and you’ll probably have to come back again to make some more for your friends!
Class will meet on Tuesday or Thursday at 5.30pm-8.30pm or

Saturday or Sunday 10am – 1pm
