Discover the art and skill of blade smithing in our blacksmithing 101 class-a hands-on experience designed exclusively for service members and veterans. Under the guidance of expert instructors Carl Oliver, participants will learn the fundamentals of forging and shaping steel, developing craftsmanship that become both a rewarding hobby and a potential future trade.

During this two-day workshop, each participant will forge and finish their very own knife to take home- a lasting symbol of resilience and creativity.

Lunch is provided each day, and classes are held monthly. Open to service members and veterans only. Lodging is not typically available.
