Hand Forged Steel Cookware Set

In this 3 day workshop, we will begin by working through simple hand forging techniques to create cooking utensils with an emphasis on clean thought design and process, while exploring both two piece riveted construction and single piece forgings. We will then move on to complete the cooking set with a hand forged skillet. The created cooking set will be functional and decorative to last for a life time of use. Some experience with working a coal forge and basic forging is recommended but not required.
