Well, that didn't take long. In half an hour, the cancellation opening filled! Sorry to others who may have wanted to sign up. You can get on a waitlist with Jeff by emailing [email protected].

We've had a cancellation for the Blacksmithing 101 class on Saturday-Sunday March 16-17. It's a 2-day class for people who have some experience or just really wants to pursue blacksmithing. The course is structured to give students exposure to the fundamentals of forging steel with class time and plenty of hands-on forging time in the shop. There are only 4 students in the class. Each person gets their own forge and anvil.

When the schedule went out earlier this year, this was the first class that filled, so please don't wait to sign up! Here's a link to the event page: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/blacksmithing-101-2-day-class-saturday-sunday-mar-16-17-2024-tickets-769662299657
