See what the buzz is all about and get introduced to the Good Forge at Brookfield Craft Center. This Sampler Workshop gives students an overview of the basics of blacksmithing, and a chance to create a small project. Students should expect to gain some working knowledge of hammering steel on an anvil and complete a small ornamental piece to take home. This taste of blacksmithing may very well whet your appetite for more in-depth workshops in blacksmithing and bladesmithing. Open to ages 16 and older.
