CORSO PER DONNE - FORGING COURSES

TEACHER: MICHEL MOUTON

FORGING FOR WOMAN
We offer you to experience the pleasure of creating with your own hands something useful, decorative or artistic with the help of the four natural elements.
The job of the blacksmith consist into transforming and shaping metal to a plastic state, which becomes malleable when it's near the melting point.

In addition to the fuel (coal) and the raw material (iron or other metals), we need air to feed the fire, and water for its control, and so that this ancient activity, reunites the four natural elements: earth (coal and iron), fire, water and air.

Initially, you will learn to control the fire and submit it to your laws with small exercises, the setting and the correct movements in order to work safely, the timing and the correct way to hold the hammer; you will get acquainted with the typical tools of the forge, then continuing with the basic techniques of the forger:pulling, enlarging, cutting, bending and so on.

The course is open to everyone! Beginners who already have experience or attended other courses, will be accompanied in the realization of personal projects, taking into account your skills and the time available. Everyone will take away with them the objects created with their own hands.

You will have taken the first steps in the world of fire and sword.
