Learn Blacksmithing at Kaviar Forge and Gallery January 14

The art of blacksmithing dates back hundreds of years, and it’s a skill that few people have the chance to learn -- but not you. Go to the Beginner Blacksmith Class at the Kaviar Forge and Gallery this January, and learn some of this amazing skill.

Winter Beginner Blacksmith Class

This beginner class will teach you the foundation for blacksmithing. Starting with basic techniques, participants will make their own items like nails, keychain leaves and, eventually, a fireplace poker. If you like the class, go every Saturday for 5 weeks and learn all the basic skills of blacksmithing.

The class is extensive because there’s a lot of ground to cover, so be there from 9 am to noon. The fee is $425, and that price includes all materials needed to participate. Attend class at the Kaviar Forge and Gallery at 147 Stevenson Avenue. That’s in the Clifton neighborhood, and this is one neighborhood where you can always find something new and interesting to do.
