We had a great time for the past couple if weeks working with Mrs. Polowskis class at St. Bernard school. These projects will be displayed at CAHEPs Artist in the Fifth Arts Fiesta! Great work class! It was exciting to see the forms come to life, and to see so many young spirits now interested in Blacksmithing!
Clay Smithing:
Carol Kajorinne and Kristen "Kriev" Krievin (Pike Lake Forge) led Sarah Polowski's St. Bernard class in the creation of air-dry-clay sculptures. Clay is often employed by blacksmiths to problem solve and explore ideas before working the hot steel. Using wooden hammers, learners applied the basics of blacksmithing to forming clay. Topics include: forging a taper, drawing out, spreading, scrolling and applying those skills to forge a leaf along with their own intuitive shapes.
