Learn how to forge a spoon Using traditional silversmithing techniques you’ll use hammers to stretch the metal in different directions to make a small copper spoon out of one single piece of metal. Over the duration of the workshop you’ll discover how metal moves and the way hammers can be used to create different thicknessess and textures in metal.
