No Experience-Beginner TBD Materials and Studio Fees* In this introductory bronze forging workshop, participants will learn basic forging techniques such as tapering, spreading, upsetting, punching holes, bending, and twisting, using silicon bronze. Participants will learn the similarities and differences between silicon bronze and steel through a series of small projects that utilize gas forges, torches, and coal forges. Attention will be paid to heat management and precision while the boundaries of material qualities are explored. Attendees should expect to take home two or more functional objects and a foundational understanding of forging processes. *Materials and studio fees are charged to students based on studio usage and materials Touchstone is providing at the request of the instructor. Additionally, some instructors may also require that you bring certain materials and tools with you, in which case a list will be provided. Final cost of these fees will be posted at least two weeks ahead of the workshop to be paid in full prior to check-in.
