Come join us for a tour of our studio!

We offer a unique variety of private lessons, small group classes, Master-Classes, and Open Forge!

We believe the basics are best taught in private lessons for a better learning experience before joining a group. Not everyone learns the same way and a 1 on 1 lesson gives us the ability to adapt to individual strengths and learning styles. We want to ensure you get the most out of each class. If you prefer more of a group setting, then one of our small group classes may be a better fit and is a great way to start learning the ancient craft of traditional blacksmithing.

For intermediate to experienced Blacksmiths… a weekend Master Class or our Open Forge Membership are great ways to sharpen your skills and hone in on your craft!
