Blacksmithing Workshop: Forge a Bronze Bracelet

Work with hot metal and learn blacksmithing basics as you create a bronze bracelet in this metal smithing workshop in the Bay Area! This metal class is great for beginners diving into the world of blacksmithing. You will begin with copper and then repeat the process in bronze. The soft metal is a gentle introduction to smithing, while the bronze presents a unique challenge.

Join us at Seaport Studios for an engaging session in bracelets! You'll learn essential techniques like hammer control, texturing, and bending—all in a relaxed and supportive environment.

After you get the hang of hammering and shaping the bracelets, we will finish them by wire brushing. The instructor will shine and polish the edge as an optional finishing touch. This class will make you comfortable in the metal smithing environment, so you can confidently tackle your project or a new hobby.

Sharing anvils means sharing the fun! You will be sharing an anvil, taking turns to forge your masterpiece. Two students are required for a class to run.
