Have you ever wanted to learn how to work with fire and shape metal? In this one-day class for adult beginners, participants will learn how to start and manage a fire, safe blacksmithing practices, and basic techniques for shaping metal. At the end of the class, you will take home a fire poker you’ve made with your new skills!

This is a 5-hour program. Attendees should bring a sack lunch. Aprons, gloves, and ear and eye protection will be provided, but if you already own protective equipment, you are welcome to bring it to the class to wear at the discretion of the instructor. Please wear natural fibers, long pants, and sturdy closed-toed shoes such as boots. This class will involve repetitive motions with heavy items such as hammers, and there will be breaks for all participants throughout.
