Damascus: Introduction to Pattern Welding
Session Four: June 30-July 12

Andrew Meers
Damascus: Introduction to Pattern Welding

This workshop will cover basic forge-welding and patterning, including traditional and contemporary techniques for fusing and patterning carbon steel. Students will become familiar with basic forging operations as they set up and develop patterned materials that can then be shaped into Damascus objects. The workshop will encompass basic patterning styles, including twisting, laddering, and multi-bar composites. The focus will be on material and aesthetic pattern development; we will not cover knifemaking.  All levels.
