Join this exciting metalwork class in Melbourne and design and create your very own fire poker. Say goodbye to makeshift sticks and cheap imports and hello to a customised poker that you can proudly say you made yourself.
Don't worry if you're new to blacksmithing because we'll guide you through every step of the process.
In this workshop, you'll start with a safety induction and a brief tour of the forge. Donning your dressed safety gear, including a leather apron, you'll be ready to unleash your creativity.
We'll assist you in designing and drawing your perfect poker, helping you select the materials that suit your style. Then it's time to start forging!
Under the guidance of our experienced instructors, you'll twist, beat and fire-weld the steel to shape your masterpiece. Take your time to fine-tune your creation, ensuring it meets your vision. Once you're satisfied, we'll apply a beautiful protective coating to preserve its durability and enhance its appearance.
Imagine the pride you'll feel as you hold your handmade poker, knowing that it's not only a functional tool but also can turn out to be a family heirloom and a testament to your craftsmanship. And if the excitement of making your own poker ignites a passion for blacksmithing, who knows where it could lead? You might find yourself returning to create matching pieces for a complete fire set.
Join our metalwork class, unleash your creativity and experience the satisfaction of saying, "I made it myself." Put together a group of friends and quadruple the fun!
