Texture Flower Template

Texture Flower Template

Step one is to texture the template with a special tool designed to put deep grooves into the steel.


Animate Petal

Using a torch and working in pairs, you will use isolated heats to shape the edges of the petals to give them a life-like appearance.

The flower gets sandblasted and you will pick out your favourite colour for the petals, paint it on and torch-fire the enamel on. Finish by assembling the stem, stamen and petals together.


Come and dip your toe into a fun class forging metal flowers in a supportive, inclusive environment and take home a flower of your own design. No previous blacksmithing skills needed.
You will first receive a template of flower petals, stem and stamen. The focus of the class will be learning how to animate the petals through texture and shaping.
You will:
  • Learn to texture and shape the petals with various tools and heat from a forge and torch
  • Tap a thread that will attach the stamen to the stem through the petals to hold it all together
  • Enamel three layers of colour
  • Finish with paste wax
By the end of the class, you will take home a hand-forged enamelled flower of your design.

female Women-owned

Alice completed a Diploma in Costume Design in 2010, where her final piece was a Samurai Armour. Her interest in metalwork led her to The Barn, the location of the Australian Blacksmiths Association [Victoria]. This is where her love for the Blacksmithing craft began. Alice spent eight years at The Barn, volunteering on the committee, teaching beginners courses, and helping develop and support the Women’s Blacksmithing Group, whilst being mentored by Blacksmith Nick Hackett.
In 2016, Alice went on to study Industrial Blacksmithing at Ultimo TAFE in Sydney. During her studies, Alice travelled to New Orleans, United States and worked with Rachel David and was involved in the foundation of The Society of Inclusive Blacksmiths, an organisation that focuses on championing inclusiveness and diversity within the Blacksmithing world.
After returning to Australia and completing TAFE, Alice also spent time working at Eveleigh Works at the Historic Locomotive Workshop in Redfern, Sydney and Eastern Forge in the Northern Rivers.
In 2022, Alice started her own business. Initially working on some architectural commissions, Alice began her own range of home décor products. Tool making is her main passion. Alice is designing and making her own tools to do production-focused work. Alice predominantly uses open and closed dies in her work. The tri-line profile is a main feature in her products.
Garrett Forgeworks also offers a series of blacksmithing classes for women, trans and non-binary people. These classes provide a safe and supportive learning environment to access a craft that has traditionally been off-limits to many.
