SUMMARY:New Agrarian School Workshop - Utensil Forging: Design and Refine with Anna Koplik
DESCRIPTION:Throughout this workshop\, students will learn to make their own functional and decorative spoons\, spatulas\, and more with a focus on refinement\, design\, and delicate forging. The class will cover the basics of forging\, forming\, bending\, and file work to make single piece steel and iron utensils. Students will be encouraged to push themselves on accurate forging and explore their own unique details and designs. Class will start with demos and projects\, aiming to build technique and introduce process. Then class will expand to encourage more independent designing and challenge precise forging skills. This class is great for those new to blacksmithing or for people with prior experience who want to build their forging accuracy and design skills. Come learn to make your own unique hand-forged utensils in a fun\, enthusiastic\, and inclusive environment!

SUMMARY:New Agrarian School Workshop - American Axes with Jeffrey Funk
DESCRIPTION:This class will explore the history\, design\, forging\, and use of axes for felling timber and working wood. Before the advent of the chainsaw spelled the end of the axe as a primary tool for felling trees in America\, this ancient tool reached its most effective forms for use by both the woodsman and the carpenter. We will focus on good geometry and metallurgy to create tools that are both beautiful and practical. A variety of forms will be demonstrated including a folded wrought iron single bitted axe\, a classic Northwest style double bitted axe from one piece\, and a single bitted axe forged from one piece. Students can expect to finish three axes (or more for ambitious participants). If time allows\, finished axes can be hung on handles made here from hickory blanks.
