Blacksmith Classes

Our Blacksmith classes are not your typical “cookie cutter” forging classes that are common elsewhere. You will not have to make the “project of the day” simply because your blacksmith instructor is not creative enough to give you options. I cater the classes towards what the student wants to make. If for example you’re a fan of “Forged in Fire” and interested in Bladesmithing then I gear the instruction toward making a knife or dagger, Your knife, dagger, sword, battle axe, or whatever you choose to make will be “full tang” forged and fully prepared to accept whatever kind of handle material at a later date on your own. I will go over how you can clad your “weapons of minor destruction” with wood, bone, antler, leather, para cord and so on so you know how to do it. Even without any handle material whatever you choose to make will be quite usable even without adding handle material and some students never even bother to do so. You’ll even get to “heat treat” your blade of choice just like they do on “Forged in Fire” too!
If the student is not sure what he or she would like to make I’ll give them suggestions such as fire pokers, plant hangers, power tool holders, pot racks etc… or better yet encourage you to think of something you would like to make and I’ll help you make it happen all the while teaching you the foundational skills to continue learning this form of blacksmith art.
*Our classes are 1 full day of personalized and private instruction or about 6-7 hours. Class stops only when you learn all the basic forging techniques and most importantly finish making your project for the day. Whatever you decide to make you get to bring home your creation that day giving you instant satisfaction of not only learning a new skill but being able to bring home the “evidence” of this new skill to show off to family and friends. Unlike our competition we limit our class size to just 2 to 4 students. Private groups of 5 or 6 students all must register for their class together and will not be combined with smaller groups. Because of these small classes we can pack (a lot) more instruction and learning into our classes. You or who you are purchasing the class for will learn blacksmithing the “olde fashioned way” as people did hundreds and even thousands of years ago, from master blacksmith to apprentice.
*Single and double student classes occasionally may be assigned 1-2 students to their class.
