Join Master Bladesmith Jim Crowell in this 1 day workshop focused on introducing students to Damascus Steel. This class will introduce students to basic forging safety, skills & techniques through live demonstrations and some opportunities for “hands-on” forging work.
This will be an excellent primer class for Jim’s November 6-8 Introduction to Damascus Steel Workshop.
Please note that this class will be held at Jim’s own forge, just a few miles outside of Mountain View.
Safety equipment that students should bring / wear:
A leather apron if you want. (Mandatory for Damascus class.)
Leather shoes or boots, mesh top foot wear does not fare well in the shop.

Ear protection if desired (mandatory for Damascus)
Jim does have some “spare” gloves, glasses and an apron that can be shared.

How much hands on experience will be in Damascus course?

Hi Brian,
Thanks for inquiring on the Damascus Steel course. This class is going to mostly be a primer for Jim’s next Damascus course. He will be introducing students to the art of Damascus Steel, so it’s going to mostly be demonstration (not much hands on).
Jim’s following class will be three days of hands on where students get to make their own blade. You can find more information on this page: http://arkansascraftschool.org/events/forging-damascus-steel/.
