*Knife-making for the absolute beginner*
Understanding recycled steel—how to access, use and transform them into tools.
Jenna McElvogue from @Jennabuilds will be leading this workshop with assistance from Pete Mattila in unraveling the mysteries of the specific properties that recycled steels can offer in knife-making.
In this 2-day workshop participants learn the accessibilities of steels while forging their own knife, understanding the proper function of geometry, hardening and tempering with the shaping and fitting of custom handles that every participant makes.
This is a perfect workshop for anyone looking for that very first step into making. It’s all hands-on learning and everyone walks away with their own custom blade.
This knife making course takes place in Hobart, Tasmania at artist blacksmith Pete Mattila’s waterfront studio.
We acknowledge the Tasmanian Aboriginal people and their enduring custodianship of lutruwita / Tasmania. We honour 40,000 years of uninterrupted care, protection and belonging to these islands, before the invasion and colonisation of European settlement. As a destination that welcomes visitors to these lands, we acknowledge our responsibility to represent to our visitors, Tasmania’s deep and complex history, fully, respectfully and truthfully.
We acknowledge the Aboriginal people who continue to care for this country today. We pay our respects to their elders, past and present. We honour their stories, songs, art, and culture, and their aspirations for the future of their people and these lands. We respectfully ask that tourism be a part of that future.
