Forge Your Own Small Knife in This Beginner's Bladesmithing Class
Any STARTER class required before this class
Step into the world of bladesmithing with an exciting opportunity to create your own small knife at Seaport Studios. Guided by the skilled Nile Miller, you'll immerse yourself in the art of knife making, learning essential techniques in a hands-on setting.
In this class, you'll master bladesmithing skills including tapering, beveling, sanding, and sharpening. Working with 1075 steel you will forge a small blade, heat treat it, and assemble it.
This class is perfect for those with previous blacksmithing experience who are ready to tackle a challenging project. While crafting a high-quality knife takes practice, you'll gain valuable skills and create a functional piece that reflects your effort and learning.
Please wear all natural fibers such as cotton jeans, t-shirts, wool or leather. Wear closed toed shoes. Synthetic shoes such as sneakers, not advised. Synthetic fabrics, such as polyester, nylon and spandex melt and stick to skin when heated. Do not wear synthetic clothing when working with fire.
Clay and Steel is located at Seaport Studios in Richmond, CA. Seaport Studios is a studio space filled with individually owned private art businesses. It is an active working shop. Expect there to be fire, noise, welders, grinders, woodworkers, artists, shop dogs and shop cats.
It is possible we will be sharing anvils in this class. You may have to share an anvil.
This smithy aims to feel like a safe place for all people. We are strong LGBTQ+ allies and treat fellow students with respect.
