Advanced | TBD Materials and Studio Fees* The timeless allure of Gothic ironwork lies in its imaginative application of decorative and sculptural elements to functional forms. In this one-week course, Master Blacksmith Kim Thomas will lead students in the design and construction of medieval andirons. Focusing on historic examples, students will sample and problem solve advanced level forgings to arrive at forms for their hearths. This course is co-sponsored by the Historic Blacksmith Conservancy and will utilize the Samuel Yellin Tool Collection in presenting technical methodologies. *Materials and studio fees are charged to students based on studio usage and materials Touchstone is providing at the request of the instructor.
