next generation. We aim to inspire a sense of pride in craftsmanship,

In
our Junior Blacksmithing Classes, students will have the opportunity to
create their very own hand-forged leaf and feather keychains. These
unique projects are perfect for beginners, combining simple yet
rewarding techniques to spark creativity and build foundational skills.

heat, shape, and texture metal to create these beautiful,
nature-inspired keychains they can proudly take home. Each piece will
serve as a personal memento of their blacksmithing experience—a lasting
reminder of what they can accomplish with their own hands.
