This intermediate-level, hands-on workshop is an excellent way to continue exploring the forging process. Work with hot steel to create your own custom bottle opener! In the process, you’ll hone blacksmithing techniques, including slitting, drifting, punching, bending, and more. At the end of the session, put your handiwork to the test when you crack open a bottled beverage to toast your accomplishment! Some prior experience with forging is recommended.

These sessions are led by Rivers of Steel staff artist and bladesmith Jared Ondovchik (aka Artifact Metalworks).
