This class will introduce participants to the art of traditional blacksmithing. Students will team up to learn how to build and maintain a fire, use various tools and learn techniques in which to shape iron. Each participant will make various types of hooks that they can take home and use in their homes.
Session 1 is designed for youth 8-17 to participate WITH their parent or guardian. The tuition and materials includes the fees for two spots (the youth and their parent or guardian). Adults alone are not eligible for this class.
Session 2 is designed for adults. Youth 8-17 can register if their parent our guardian is also registered for the class, though we recommend families register for session 1. Registration for session 2 only accounts for one spot per person.
