NY1 visited SVA’s Creative Blacksmithing class in its Red Hook, Brooklyn, studio on Tuesday, September 21. The class, offered through the Division of Continuing Education, teaches students to use traditional and modern tools to create functional and sculptural forged metal objects. Reporter Roger Clark spoke to instructor Marsha Trattner and her students in the TV segment and even forged a steel rod himself. As student Katie Lincoln tells Clark in the segment, “Banging on metal, hot metal, it’s just a fun thing to do.”
