Anna will be teaching Introduction to Blacksmithing at Touchstone from July 9–13, 2018. Do you want to learn how to work a coal forge, swing a hammer at the anvil, and heat and forge steel? Then join us for this workshop as we go over these basic blacksmithing skills. We will cover "J" and "S" hooks, leaves, a bottle opener as well as a more complicated project, such as a steak turner, fork, spoon, or another tool. This workshop is suitable for All Levels.
