About this Event

Every WEDNESDAY from 5:00pm-7:30pm VPS will open the forges in the Hot Shop, crank up the music and strike some metal! If you have taken Intro to Blacksmithing or Intro to Welding then you are eligible to sign up for this weekly open shop time. Its a great time to practice what you've learned in the intro classes or try a new project.


Remember, mistakes are wecome and a given! Trust the process!


Each participant must bring their own metal and materials, though we do have some blank material on hand for practice. There is no instruction, but there will be other community blacksmithers/welders around to make sure everyone is safe and able to find what they need.
