Announcing the 5 day intensive Ferrous Musings/Fusings workshop in
Salida, CO at Judy Hoch’s Marstal Smithy studio. We will be working
with galvanic salt water etching, creating micro-chisels (tagane),
and exploring a multitude of textures in iron using hand chisels
(tap-tap), hammer hand piece, and a variety of hammers. We will be
alloying 3 specific golds, and then we will fuse the various golds
to the etched/textured iron (mild steel). Finally we will be
forming, finishing, adding patinas, and sealing the work.
