Working processes such as annealing, work hardening, and tool prep are covered. Students who are interested in forging sterling silver are welcome to bring your own supplies for some specific instruction on working this material. This class will center on jewelry scale forging, but can also touch on smaller architectural pieces like knobs and handles. Darren will demonstrate several simple classical forms for you to work on, to get a feel of how the metal moves. You will also walk away with several pieces that can be easily turned into finished jewelry. Techniques will center on using only a few simple hammers and one forming stake, so this class is useful for the student with a limited studio space.
