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.
Safety glasses
Dust mask / respirator
Leather palm work gloves
Ear protection if desired (mandatory for Damascus)
Jim does have some “spare” gloves, glasses and an apron that can be shared.
