Blacksmithing Class – Foundational Techniques

Learn the basics of building and maintaining a fire, as well as hammer control, and start making small projects-hooks, leaves, and decorative pieces. With your foundational skills in hand, progress to larger items including fire pokers and shovels. Work with several types of forge welds and unravel the mystery of tempering. By the end of the week, you’ll be able to make items for use, for fun, or for gifts.
