An Introduction to Blacksmithing

For the Introduction to Blacksmithing class, we’ll be working in a coal forge. We’ll forge a fire tool that will teach you fundamental forging skills and leave you with a tool you can use in a home forge, or in a fireplace or fire ring.

You’ll learn the fundamental forging processes of drawing out, bending, and twisting, which you’ll use more than any other blacksmithing processes. You’ll also learn fire management and ergonomic hammer technique.

This is the ideal class for those who have never hit hot metal before.
