Intro
In this course, we will explore the forging process, beginning to understand how to move metal using a hammer.
The techniques introduced in the course will then be applied to hand forge a spoon, an object that requires a range of forging techniques but whose completion will also instill the confidence to take the technique in whichever direction the student chooses.

*Preview basic jewelry-making experience is required.
