Instructor: Harvey Steele

Cost: $25 If you’re going to be sharing a forge only sign up once per group.

Class size: Maximum 7, minimum 4

Class Description: This event is open to all guild members. There is no lesson or agenda except to get some iron hot and hit it with a hammer and hang out with fellow blacksmiths. There are signups, and that guarantees you a forge space. If you just want to stop by and hang out, you are welcome to do so. If there’s space at a forge, you can pay the fee and have at it. The fee just covers the facility, coal, and insurance.
