Blacksmithing & Toolmaking
Families at the Forge
Instructor:
Cody Myers
Course Overview
The North House Blacksmith Shop excites the curiosity of adults and kids alike. Hammers pound, sparks fly, and red-hot metal becomes a fire poker, hook, or other tool right before their eyes. In this family class, kids and adults will work together to craft simple items and get a sense for this ancient trade. The tuition rate covers a maximum of three people working together, either one adult (18+) with one or two children, or two adults (18+) working with one child. This course is open to students ages 10+.
