Blacksmithing Fundamentals

🔥 Step up to the forge and discover the art of blacksmithing!

Our Blacksmithing Fundamentals class is designed for beginners who want to experience the satisfaction of working hot steel with a hammer and anvil. Whether you’ve always wanted to try blacksmithing, are looking for a unique hands-on experience, or are interested in learning a new craft, this class is a great place to start.

During the class, you’ll learn the fundamentals of working with hot steel, including fire management, heating metal, hammer control, basic forging techniques, and how to shape steel on the anvil. Our experienced instructor will guide you through each step and help you develop the skills and confidence to work safely at the forge.

Most importantly, you’ll actually get to forge! This isn’t a class where you simply watch a demonstration. You’ll spend time at the forge, work the steel, and put the techniques you learn into practice.

And when you’re finished, you get to take home what you forged! You’ll leave with a piece you made with your own hands—and the experience and knowledge to continue exploring the craft.

🔥 What to Bring

Please wear:

• 👖 Jeans or other durable long pants

• 👢 Closed-toe shoes — sturdy work shoes or boots are recommended

• 👕 Comfortable clothing appropriate for working around heat and sparks

Safety equipment and the necessary forging tools will be provided.

No previous blacksmithing experience is required. We’ll start with the basics and work at a pace that allows you to learn, ask questions, and enjoy the experience.

🔥 Come learn the craft. Feel the heat. Swing the hammer. Make something that’s yours.
