SUMMARY:Forged Connections: Early Medieval Bladesmithing and Metallurgy with Dr. Andrew Welton
DESCRIPTION:Forged Connections is the Metal Museum’s after-hours conversation series exploring how metal connects art\, people\, place\, and everyday life. Each month\, artists\, metalsmiths\, scholars\, community partners\, and professionals from fields such as engineering\, design\, public art\, preservation\, and city planning come together for accessible conversations about the role metal plays in our communities. From jewelry and sculpture to bridges\, buildings\, tools\, and public spaces\, Forged Connections invites lifelong learners to look more closely at the material world around them.Join Dr. Andrew Welton for an after-hours talk on pattern-welded swords\, early medieval metallurgy\, and the relationship between swordsmiths and the warriors who carried their work into combat. Drawing on a decade of hands-on experimental archaeology\, including smelting iron in medieval-style furnaces and forging recreated blades\, Welton will explore why smiths used this difficult technique even when it offered no clear performance advantage. This talk is designed for anyone interested in the connections among metalworking\, materials science\, and the history of bladesmithing.

SUMMARY:Scratch It and Pack It: Enameling
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: CATHY TALBOT \n\n\n\n15+ | $250 ($200 + $50 Materials Fee)All Levels | No previous experience required \n\n\n\nEnameling is an ancient process of fusing powdered glass to copper. In this one-day workshop\, students will explore the possibilities of enamel by making samples\, pendants\, and/or decorative shallow dishes.
