COURSE DESCRIPTION: This holiday season, you can hang your stockings on the fireplace mantle in style! In this 3-hour blacksmithing “taster” course, you’ll forge a sturdy hook-under stocking hangar that relies on gravity and weight to keep the hangar in place. You’ll learn to forge a taper, a hook, and then metal bending to form the corners. We’ll also cover some decorative metal texturing and finishes to make your stocking hangar really pop. Also, these hangars can be used all year round to hang different seasonal or year-round decorations from your mantle. This class is intended for complete beginners.
