Blacksmithing for all levels.
Max. 8 students, ages 16 and up.
The course is for both beginners and those with some experience. For beginners, we will provide a list of projects, materials required, and techniques. For students with their own projects in mind, we will discuss approaches and techniques. We will guide students of all levels through their work.
Materials fee: $60 includes steel and coal used for projects plus the time for a guild member to open and close the shop and deal with material needs as they arise. Safety glasses will be provided.
Students must wear long pants made from natural fiber and closed toe shoes. No shorts or synthetic clothing are allowed in the farm museum blacksmith shop. Synthetic clothing melts when encountering hot metal and sparks.
Schedule a week or two, or three! Or, just sprinkle some classes in between other commitments.
