What

This is an hands-on event. We'll be transforming a railroad spike into a knife using forge, hammer, anvil and a little sweat.  Designed for beginners ... no experience necessary:)

​

The workshop is led by Michael Sebacher, a local artisan and teacher.  See his bio here.

​

You'll have a chance to explore a working blacksmith-artisan studio located on a working horse farm. You'll learn some basic blacksmithing techniques and enjoy the company of others who share your interest.

​Important Things to Remember

  • ​Dress for the weather and the environment.  This is a working studio ... dirt, grit, and heat  are always present.

  • Gloves gloves are required ... leather is best.  Plastic/nylon/polyester gloves are unsafe.  The cheap, thin leather ones really work better ... Bring your own or use ours. 

  • ​Safety glasses are required and supplied as needed.  Prescription glasses will work as well.

  • Long hair should be tied back or under a hat.

  • Nylon or polyester clothing is unsafe ... cotton, wool, or leather work:)

  • Taking photos/videos is definitely encouraged but mustn't interfere with others working.

  • Those under 17 must be accompanied by a related, responsible adult.

  • This is not a child-friendly environment and unsafe for children 12 and under.
