It has been an exciting few weeks at school! Inspired by the artists of the METAL SHOW: Forged Poured and Welded, I have begun to introduce the art of Blacksmithing to my students! With the purchase of a small gas forge, and the very lucky acquisition of a beautiful Fisher-Norris anvil, we are jumping in with both feet!
We began by making simple wall hooks.
We started experimenting by introducing a series of twists to the hot metal.
So far this has proven a thoroughly rewarding experience for us all!
