Forge your own small knife and learn about blacksmithing along the way!

This is a required pre-req for advanced classes to come!

In this class we will cover forging out a small, simple, all-steel knife along with some blacksmithing history, tooling information, and other basic concepts. Once the forging is complete, we will heat treat the knives and then grind to an edge. Students will then be able to take their finished knives home for a final temper in a home oven.

This grant funded series is to create access for lower income individuals to learn new skills and enjoy our workshops. These workshops are 40-45% off of our regular prices. If you can afford the class at regular price please leave room for those who do not.

Age 16+ (Under 18 MUST be accompanied by a guardian)
