Metal • Youth • Preteen Blacksmithing • Tue (8/25/26 - 9/15/26) • Pay What You Can • MAIN
with James Makely
Ages: 9 - 13
In this course, students will learn to bend and shape steel. Students will practice traditional blacksmithing techniques, such as tapering, bending, twisting, and punching; using the forge and anvil. This class will cover shop safety, fire management, tools and equipment, and the appropriate use of the various parts of the anvil. Students will leave with valuable skills in blacksmithing while gaining self-confidence with completed projects such as a bracelet, hook, fork, or spoon.
This class has no prerequisites and is specifically set up for absolute beginners to this art form. Our Metal Studio does have some safety basics before anyone is allowed to join in the fun (failure to meet these requirements will result in not being granted access to the equipment):
- Please come dressed in close-toe shoes, and natural material clothing, i.e. cotton or linen, long pants are required.
- For welding, a long sleeved cotton shirt is recommended that fully covers your chest. We have long sleeve over-shirts in the studio. Please be aware that sparks can damage clothing.
- Abandana or tight cap is advised. If you have long hair, please have it securely tied back from your face.
- No loose or dangling jewelry, long earrings or scarves.
- We will provide safety goggles and other PPE, but if you have your own and would like to bring them, please do!
- Please bring a water bottle!
Ages: 9 - 12
All supplies and materials will be provided during class.
This class is Pay What You Can with a suggested price of $290.
