Flatware and Spoons
Utensils can be surprisingly easy to make. We will make a utensil or a set of flatware using wire or sheet metal for the handles and sheet metal that we will dome to make spoon bowls, and cut out fork and knife blades. Hammer textures will be covered to show various ways of shaping and texturing metal. Styles such as salad servers, serving spoons, measuring spoons, 3-piece flatware sets (fork, knife, and spoon) will be covered.
