Blacksmith forging is a traditional craft that involves shaping metal through the application of heat and hammering.

The process begins by heating a metal work piece in a forge until it becomes red-hot, making it malleable and easier to manipulate. Once the metal reaches the desired temperature, the blacksmith uses a hammer and anvils to shape, bend, or cut the metal into the desired form. . Forging can be used to create a wide variety of tools, from hammers and chisels to knives and axes, all of which benefit from the strength and durability imparted by the process. The heat, combined with the force applied during forging, results in a hardened material that can withstand heavy use, making it an ideal technique for producing high-performance tools.

If this is something you’ve been wanting to do, this is a great opportunity to get your hands dirty and learn the trade at a steal!

Meet one of our pottery instructors, Roan Sarro of 🫶🏼

Her art combines a youthful sense of wonder with a love of the horrific and apocalyptic. Ingenuity and indulgence in a vast array of mixed media help her to incorporate a playfulness in her work that’s inherent in her personality.

Roan is an amazing instructor and human and we are lucky to have her on the Wildcat team!
