Blacksmithing is a time-honored trade that takes a whole lot more than a seven-week summer workshop to master, but, hey, it's not a bad place to start! We'll have a chance to learn all about forging steel, shaping it, various different techniques and blades, proper care and maintenance, and the opportunity to walk out with a weapon crafted by your very own hands at the end of it. And, even if you don't get that far, you'll still get to work with fire and hit things, so it's still a win!
