Imagine reshaping steel—one of the strongest materials on Earth—into something extraordinary. Steel, the backbone of skyscrapers, bridges, and machines, is now in your hands. You’re stepping into a craft that leaves a mark as bold and enduring as the material itself.

Kids (12 & Under)

Cold Metal & Clay
This private 30-minute class gives kids under 13 the opportunity to learn forging techniques safely (using cold metal and clay) so that they will eventually be able to safely work in hot metal. These are very short classes because attention spans tend to be a bit shorter in younger kids. These classes are brief but we pack a lot in!
There is an option to register for an individual class to try it out, but it is unlikely that a student will complete a project in 30 minutes.

This class might be a good fit if your kiddo is interested in blacksmithing and they are good at following directions.
Everyone is welcome, including neuro-divergent kids, and kids who need special accommodations (reach out before class if there's anything we need to know).
If your kiddo is having a rough day on the day of class, please consider rescheduling; a well-regulated kid is much safer in the shop. Rescheduling can be done (for free) online until 1 hour before class starts.
