BBQ Tools Workshop
Adult Workshop | Available
Get ready for BBQ season! Hand-forge your own BBQ tools and learn the art of blacksmithing! This class will teach you the traditional skills to make useful kitchen and BBQ utensils, emphasizing hand forging and individual expression. Transform steel round, square and flat stock, as well as sheet metal, into skewers, steak (or vegetable!) turners, meat forks, spatulas, and tongs. Drawing down, slitting, forge welding, spreading, twisting, and scrolling, are just some of the techniques that will turn plain metal into something beautiful and practical. Material Fee: $25
