No experience? No problem.This hands-on workshop is designed for absolute beginners who want to learn the basics of blacksmithing in a fun and approachable way. Using a hammer, anvil, and tongs, you’ll get familiar with four foundational techniques: bending, twisting, drawing out, and flaring hot steel. We’ll apply these skills to simple, satisfying projects and forge up to three different styles of keychain holders.

  • Students should wear long jeans, boots and cotton t-shirt. This class will be fun, dirty, loud, and a little bit physical so plenty of water and a snack, such as a cereal bar, is highly reccommened. Gloves are optional.
