Woodbine, MD. 21797.&nbsp; Our first class will be June 28th and 29th, 2025, each day is 9am to 3pm. The Beginning Blacksmith 2-Day Workshop program includes facets of blacksmithing iron as it was done over a century ago. Participants will learn about the science surrounding blacksmithing, safety rules, tools and equipment historically used in blacksmithing, and the operation and maintenance of a coal fired forge. This is a beginner program designed to introduce participants to the joys of Blacksmithing and fabricating items from metal and iron. This program is not for idle observers; Participants will be expected to interact during class sessions and participate in hands on activities. Safety items- (eye protection, gloves, aprons, etc.), tools, materials and instructor oversight will be provided. Participants will receive pre-program instructions covering the type of clothes, shoes, etc. to wear, and Lunch and beverages. The program costs $160 per person. &nbsp;THIS IS A 2-DAY COURSE. &nbsp;Each day is 9am to 3pm. This is a coed program available to individuals 14 years of age and up (14 and 15-year-olds must be accompanied by a participating adult). It is a great experience for couples, family members of multi-generations, and individuals looking for an opportunity to take a step back in time and experience a part of history that was so important to the development of the world. This is not heavy-duty work, but participants must be able to physically strike a hammer repeatedly, hold pliers/tongs, work in close proximity to a coal fired forge and repeatedly turn a forge blower handle.
