A hands-on and fun workshop on how to cold and hot form a steel bowl and apply a food safe enamel in our well kitted out studio. We are located in the heart of Melbourne... and... we are all about working with steel!
Students will be provided with one small vessel and forge another. They will learn to prepare the surface and apply colour to both vessels using glass enamel, including various techniques for creating patterns and effects. All students will take home their completed projects and the knowledge/skill to incorporate this wonderful technique into their forging practice.
Don't worry if you've never tried anything like it before, our experienced teacher will guide you every step of the way and you'll be safely instructed on creating something truly beautiful and unique.
If after your session, you find yourself wanting to extend your skills, you may want to explore our
other workshops we have on offer. We offer classes in steel sculpture and jewellery, enamelling, knifemaking and for those wanting to get a more in depth understanding of the art of blacksmithing, we also offer multi-day courses.
This workshop is suitable for everyone, whether you're looking for a fun activity to do with your kids (12 years old and above), a unique date night idea or a team-building activity. Our forge is available for private bookings for up to ten persons every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Simply contact us to arrange a suitable time and day for your visit.
