About this Event
Tired of the boring, same old office life consuming your Monday - Friday? Want to learn a new (old) trade while getting your hands dirty and have some fun in a real forge?
Join us for a weekend blacksmithing class where you will learn some bladesmith basics and even get to make your own knife from Damascus steel!
***ALL COVID-19 CDC SAFETY GUIDELINES ARE FOLLOWED. FACEMASKS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING REQUIRED***
This 2-day class is from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM, with a one-hour lunch break over both days. Class size is limited to 6 attendees, so you will receive one-on-one attention and while participating in a hands-on learning environment.
It is a highly interactive class, and you will work alongside master blacksmiths creating a knife that is yours to keep! You will hammer, forge, harden, make the handle, sharpen, and do a great deal of the work yourself, and by the end of Sunday's class, you will take home your handmade finished product and leave with knowledge of introductory knife-making, and a proud feeling of accomplishment from your hard work.
Safety Information: You don’t need to bring much to class besides a positive attitude. Safety glasses and work gloves are provided. Participants are advised to wear closed-toe shoes, preferably leather, and natural fiber clothing, such as cotton. Synthetic fibers can catch sparks more easily. Please bring a water bottle to stay hydrated. All attendees must sign a safety consent form before class begins.
*SESSIONS WILL BE RESCHEDULED IF LESS THAN 3 PEOPLE REGISTER. YOU WILL BE CONTACTED TO COORDINATE AN ALTERNATE DATE IF NECESSARY.
