Beginning Blacksmithing Workshop

The Forge and Anvil Academy, where hundreds of students have learned the fine art of taking a piece of iron, and creating a beautiful and useful item, is one of a few places where artistic blacksmithing is taught in the United States. Where else can one learn to craft tools from iron at the side of an experienced artistic blacksmith in a shop with five forges? And in the words of one “village smithy” in Bentonsport, “Heat some iron—Make some stuff”
Please bring safety glasses, light leather gloves, and hearing protection.
Class Fee: $225.00
Students must register in advance on the Folk School website. Classes fill up fast and space is limited.
