This class is perfect for beginners and experienced smiths alike. You will learn basic forging techniques to create the elements of a trivet and then will join the elements together using collaring techniques. Collaring is a traditional joinery technique that can be applied to many projects once you understand the process. It makes for a very strong joint, ensuring your projects stay together
