Induction heating is a non-contact process which uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to produce heat in a workpiece. By placing a conductive material into a strong alternating magnetic field, electric current is made to flow in the material, thereby causing Joule heating. In magnetic materials, further heat is generated below the Curie point due to hysteresis losses.

Using the induction forge, basic hammer techniques, and hand tools, students will cut, twist, taper, bend and smash steel into either a wizard wand or a BBQ fork of their own design.

Calling all jewelry makers! Join our meetup to talk with like-minded makers. Just starting out (or hoping to start) or been creating for years, all are welcome! Bring projects to show, ideas to share, dreams for the future, sketches, materials, or just yourself. We'll talk about what we'd like to see in our jewelry area in the future, and how we can support each other as makers. Whether you work in metal, acrylic, glass, enamal, lasercut or something else, we'd love to chat. BYOB welcome.
