About

This introductory blacksmithing class will introduce you to skills and techniques that will become a base of knowledge as you pursue blacksmithing. You'll learn to make a handy and decorative wall-mounted hook using hammers, tongs, the anvil, punches, and the forge while learning to draw out, twist, bend, flatten, and pierce a 3/8-inch square piece of mild steel. Handling hot metal, and hammering technique and control will be central to this experience.
