Blacksmithing Classes

Blacksmithing Basics

Instructor: Aldai Stein

The class will teach basic blacksmithing techniques (using hammer tongs, working with the anvil and forge, drawing out a point, twisting and bending hot metal) by working on several small projects.

Age requirements are 16 & up with a parent present for minors. The parent does not need to participate in order for the child to do so. Please bring safety glasses and an apron if you have them.  Natural fiber clothing is also a must.
