Instructor: Mike Platt Discover the art of blacksmithing in this two-day workshop designed for beginners and curious makers alike. You’ll build confidence at the anvil by working on a series of small, skill-focused projects: a hand-forged steel hook, a copper-and-steel scoop, and a forged flower in steel or copper. Each piece teaches essential forging techniques without requiring heavy hammering—perfect for anyone who wants to learn that blacksmithing is about skill and accuracy, not brute strength. By the end of the weekend, you’ll leave with three beautiful, functional creations and the foundational skills to tackle bigger projects in the future. This class works well for a parent and teen; please sign up as two people. $280 non-members / $252members $40 Materials fee Pre-registration required; click "Find Tickets" to register.
