Forging Roses

Learn how to hand forge a beautiful iron rose.

Within this class students will texture and manipulate metal through a host of different blacksmithing techniques necessary to produce a metal flower.

Though no previous knowledge is necessarily required, this is a more advanced class designed to challenge student’s hand-eye coordination and sculpting. “Forging Nails” and other beginners / intermediate classes offered at RMM are recommended prior to taking this advanced class
