During this 2 day course you will experience what it is like to shape both copper and steel using fire and hammers. You will try your hand at coppersmithing and will learn how to solder by making a copper shot glass. We will then move over to the blacksmith’s forges, where you will learn a variety of forging techniques in order to create a steel bottle opener. During the third project, you will combine both steel and copper to create a ladle, which could be used in a bunch bowl or as a beautiful addition to your kitchen.

• Copper shot glass

• Forged bottle opener

• Forged stir stick
