In this class students will forge and assemble a traditional candle stick holder. This class was designed to introduce students to several jigs and fixtures for use in forging that increases the repeatability and accuracy. This also allows students of any skill level to participate, no previous blacksmithing experience is necessary.

Proper attire is natural fiber clothing such as cotton jeans and T-shirts. Cotton/polyester blend is OK but synthetic clothing or other materials that can melt are unsafe. We have eye protection available but suggest you bring your own if you have them.

This class is for members only and costs $29.96. There will be a 4 person maximum and a 2 person minimum. If the minimum isn’t met 24 hours in advance the class will be canceled.
