Students will learn the basics of forging and from a piece of steel, create a beautiful and useful knife that can be passed down to the next generation. In this 1-day class, Instructor David will teach beginners to intermediate levels. The knife shown is an example of what your knife may look like. Each one is different according to the student’s creative mind. Many students use this knowledge to open their own forge.
Students may bring their own aprons. Please wear long pants and closed-toe shoes. Forge will be hot in summer, so bring plenty of water and/or electrolyte drinks to help stay hydrated. Forge will be cold in winter, so dress accordingly.
Call the school if you have any questions, (870) 269-8397.

Whether you are new to woodturning or have turned for years, this workshop is for you. Wood turning is a woodworking skill that has been around since the ancient Egyptians - no wonder it's so much fun! The Arkansas Craft School has a well equipped wood workshop with lathes for small to large projects. All tools necessary to get the job done will be provided along with safety gear and supplies. All you need to bring is a great attitude and a heart for the art.
For beginners, the workshop will offer the basics of turning and the opportunity to come home with at least one completed small project such as a pen or seam ripper. For those with some experience you can dig deeper into bowl turning or perhaps a lidded vessel. All the skills necessary for all projects will be patiently explained while you enjoy your day of turning.
Workshops begin at 10:00 AM and will conclude approximately at 4:00 PM. Lunch breaks can be taken if the class desires or each student is welcome to bring lunch. Please do not wear loose fitting clothing and do wear closed toe shoes, long sleeves and long pants work best - the workshop is air conditioned. Those with longer hair should be prepared to tie hair back.
