A Love Letter to Grilles
Session Seven: August 11-16

Gabriel Craig and Amy Weiks
A Love Letter to Grilles

Grilles have been used for centuries to enclose and protect, and they are the basis for a variety of forms, including gates, trellises, trivets, and fire screens. Blending pattern, form, and function, grilles are a potent vehicle for expression. In this workshop students will make small grillework that could be functional items or studies for larger work. We will cover tapering and scrolling before moving on to jig making to aid in creating repeated parts. We will cover collars, rivets, laps, and tenons and will introduce forge welding as a means of creating complexity in the grille components or frame. No matter where you are in your smithing journey, there will be plenty to assimilate. All levels.
