‘The Magic’s in the Making’ with Jenna McElvogue


  • MATTILA STUDIO 44 Napoleon Street Battery Point, TAS, 7004 Australia (map)

Knife Making Course with Jenna McElvogue

*Knife-making for the absolute beginner*

Understanding recycled steel—how to access, use and transform them into tools.

Jenna McElvogue from @Jennabuilds will be leading this workshop with assistance from Pete Mattila in unraveling the mysteries of the specific properties that recycled steels can offer in knife-making. 

In this 2-day workshop participants learn the accessibilities of steels while forging their own knife, understanding the proper function of geometry, hardening and tempering with the shaping and fitting of custom handles that every participant makes. 

This is a perfect workshop for anyone looking for that very first step into making. It’s all hands-on learning and everyone walks away with their own custom blade.

Learn the magic of knife making with Jenna at Mattila Studio.
