Course Overview

In this course, students will begin to outfit their own blacksmithing tool chest while simultaneously learning the foundations of forging. Primary tool projects will include fire rakes, tongs, punches, chisels, and other smaller projects as time allows. Heat treatment, forging, fire types, forge welding, and more will be covered as we work to cultivate both our skills and tools. This class is suitable for beginners and for those who would like to continue their learning. This course is open to ages 16+. Youth ages 14-15 are welcome to register with a full-paying adult. A 25% tuition discount applies to the youth registrant when registering with a full paying adult; call to register.
