Blacksmithing for Beginners

If you’ve never heated metal in a forge and swung a hammer to shape it on an anvil, this is the class for you! Learn the absolute basics of blacksmithing on our half-day course. Get an introduction to the safety, tools and techniques of this ancient art. Leave the shop confident in your abilities, and holding your first forged steel creation.

Students will become familiar with the very fundamentals of blacksmithing — steel, hammer, tongs, forge and anvil — and learn a few basic techniques for shaping metal, such as tapering, scrolling, twisting and fullering.

If you’ve never tried blacksmithing, but were always curious, this is for you!

Full course details and important information about clothing, safety, hydration etc. will be sent to students two weeks before the course.
