Blacksmithing: Make a Hand-Forged Twisted Wall Hook

This is an introductory blacksmithing class that will introduce you to skills and techniques that will become a base of knowledge as you pursue blacksmithing.

Handling hot metal, and hammering technique and control will be central to this experience.
