This immersive workshop introduces students to traditional metalsmithing through focused exploration of hammer-and-stake forming. Participants will transform flat sheet metal into dimensional forms using sinking, doming, raising, and fold-forming techniques. Through demonstrations, guided practice, and personal experimentation, students will learn how metal stretches, compresses, curves, and folds under the hammer. The workshop culminates in a self-directed project, allowing students to apply multiple forming methods to create a finished jewelry piece or small object. Students leave with a strong technical foundation and a deeper understanding of the beauty and possibilities inherent in hand-formed metal.
