Iron CarvingThrough the ages, smiths have used a few deft blows here and there to finish their work with animal, bird, human, or fantastic head finials and ornaments similar to the gargoyles and grotesques found at the roof-lines of cathedrals, palaces, and castles. This class will give you the opportunity to follow in this decorative tradition.
You'll learn how to use punches and chisels to open mouths, punch noses and eyes, and cut ears and horns to make fantastical creature heads with unique personalities.
