Students will learn to move metal the way they intend between hammer and anvil. These skills help students become better and more proficient blacksmiths. 

Details

• This class is off-site at 20224 Pond View Lane in Poulsbo.
• This class is held in an open-air workshop, so dress accordingly.
• Introductory classes are for everyone. Whether you have never stood near a blazing forge or if you are a bit seasoned, these classes have something to offer regardless of your experience. 
• Beginning classes are designed to teach very specific blacksmithing safety, and techniques, while familiarizing students with forging equipment. 
• This class will focus on hammering skills as they draw, taper, and upset their projects.  Students will make their own version of the project. 
• Blacksmithing is simple but is physically challenging. Come and enjoy a day at the forge. But do be careful… this ancient art is very addictive.
• Please bring your lunch to enjoy during a break.
