Discovery Magic Wands
Prerequisite: None. This is an introductory class. Suggested Skill Level: Beginner and up Date. January 18, 2024 Time: 6 PM - 10 PM Location: Adam's Forge Could you use more magic in your life? If so, this is the workshop for you! Commercially mass-produced wands made of wood or resin will break with use, but a hand-forged wand will last forever. This super fun workshop is a great introduction to the forge and is suitable for more advanced students as well. Here, you will be guided in forging your own magic wand from a 3/8″ square bar. The instructor will demonstrate various design options, including different styles of twists and surface textures, and they’ll assist you as you create your own magic. Once your wand is made, your instructor will show you how to add an optional magical orb (otherwise known as a marble) to the top of the wand for extra special power. Finally, they will go over finishing options. Please note: the first week that registration for this workshop is open, spots may only be purchased by members. If you find you are unable to register, please check back after that first week has passed, or consider becoming a member of Adam’s Forge. All proceeds go towards supporting our amazing organization, and membership will bring you exclusive events and opportunities, along with a community of other blacksmiths!December 17, 2023
