SUMMARY:Pizza Knife
DESCRIPTION:In this hands-on class\, students will craft a 12″ dual-handled pizza knife designed for precision and durability. Students will start by firing up their coal forge\, and then shape their blade from a single piece of mild steel. Once forged\, the blade will be hardened using a super quench process to ensure lasting strength. Students will grind their knives to a razor-sharp edge\, ideal for slicing pizza with a smooth rocking motion. Inspired by the traditional Eskimo Ulu knife\, this versatile tool also lends itself to tasks such as fleshing animal hides\, making it both functional and historically rooted.

SUMMARY:Fire Building Basics
DESCRIPTION:Do you ever find yourself on a brisk fall hike or hunt where you could suddenly be wet from rain or fall into a creek? How about caught on a rainy day while camping? Starting a good fire isn’t a skill we practice daily like people did traditionally\, but it can be a lifesaving skill. Come learn the basics to make your fire starting practice perfect. In this workshop we will review different fire setups and safety measures focusing on igniting your own fire with a ferrocerium rod during our hands on portion. Participants will take home their own kits to practice with.

SUMMARY:Forging Square Head Dividers
DESCRIPTION:In this course each student will get a chance to forge their own set of dividers based on 18th century designs. These tools would have traditionally been used to trace and chart out patterns as well as calculate size or distance.

It is recommended that students taking this course have some basic working knowledge of blacksmithing (how to operate a forge\, using hand tools\, etc.). Prior forge welding experience is not required.
