Learn basic blacksmithing skills in a private lesson at the Village’s coal-fired forge. Working alongside one of the Village’s experienced blacksmiths, learn to manage a coal forge fire; heat stock; form the stock using tools such as hammers and anvils; and complete finish work (which includes operating an electric grinder). No previous experience required. New participants will make two J hooks. Returning students have the option of moving on to other projects (for example, S hooks, fireplace poker, nails, or a small basic knife).
