About

Demonstrations of working at the forge will be a regular offering hosted by the Metal-Fabrication Studio, but our inaugural demo event also will include a barbecue. Everyone is welcome!

You’ll see Yori Seeger working his blacksmithing magic by heating steel in the forge until it’s yellow-hot, then shaping it on the anvil with hammer and tongs. We’ll provide the safety glasses so you can safely watch Yori turn a block of steel into a useful tool.

We must warn you, though: Blacksmithing is habit forming!
