Wednesday Afternoon Homeschool Blacksmithing

Not many curricula include forge welding.

Open to all homeschool students, this course puts young makers at the anvil in Brookfield's Good Forge alongside a professional instructor, working through the traditional techniques — drawing, bending, twisting, punching, slitting and drifting — and finishing real projects rather than exercises. Same course as the morning section, moved later in the day.

Good to know. Ages 11 and up. $278 for the session, at the Forge, 290 Whisconier Road, and safety glasses are required. Prices and openings change, so check the registration page before you plan around it.
