On May 12th and 13th, join VisArts in welcoming seven guest artists from the Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina. Each artist is a studio coordinator at Penland who will be taking over our studios and offering unique weekend workshops that bring new techniques and ideas to VisArts.

Learn basic forging techniques to create spoons and bottle openers. We’ll cover forging processes including tapering, spreading, hot punching, drifting and look at various ways to texture a hot steel surface. We’ll season our spoons and bottle openers with kitchen safe mineral oil for a functional and beautiful finished product.

  • Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
