Not only are we a working Blacksmith Shop but we like to teach as well. In our blacksmith classes, we teach basic blacksmithing as well as more advanced work- all depending on the student’s ability.

The basic class is an introduction to the forge; heating steel; the basic techniques; and creating a functional tool from scratch.
The classes are 95% hands on for the student with lots of anvil and hammer time. If you’d like to know more about our school of blacksmithing please check out our classes page.

The forge is owned and operated by Dan Klug and Heidi Shewchuk

We love what we do,teaching the ancient craft of blacksmithing and keeping our folk traditions alive.
