Have some fun, learn some new skills and go home with a mouse hawk from Homestead Blacksmith!
Instructor will provide: all necessary equipment and supplies; and beverages and snacks. You will need to wear/bring: long pants, leather shoes (boots preferred), gloves, safety glasses/hearing protection, face mask, and your lunch. You may bring your own hammer/tools, if you prefer.
A $125 supply fee will be collected at the class; cash or check only.
Mark followed his interest in blacksmithing by taking classes at the North House Folk School in Northern Minnesota. After his North House experience, Mark went on to set up his own blacksmith shop at his home in rural Pine Island. Mark is eager to teach blacksmith skills to others.
