About

Forge Some Stocking Hangers

Work done in the forge can be utilitarian, whimsical, or most anywhere in between. Hanging some holiday stockings with your forged stocking hangers will help make your mantle festive for the holidays, and bring a smile to everyone who sees them.

As you forge your whimsical and utilitarian creations, you'll practice a variety of blacksmithing methods that'll take you through the steps of making a few of these pieces. Specifically, you'll learn to draw, twist, taper, and bend steel with hammer, tongs, and an anvil.

What's best about working a project in Yori's forge is that it is FUN! The rustic environment and Yori's easy manner make for a fun-filled learning experience. You won't be disappointed.
