Blacksmith Beginning
Adult Enrichment / Arts and Crafts -
2025 Adult Winter/Spring Catalog
Come to historic Tunnel Mill for the annual beginning blacksmith classes. Basic blacksmith techniques will be taught: heating, drawing out materials, upsetting, bending, and twisting techniques in steel material. Students will start by making fire tending-tools and move on to spend time on special projects as desired. Luke Venhuizen is our instructor this year. He is excited to get together at the mill to tend the fire and shape the metal.

A $100.00 supply fee will be collected at class to cover all 3 weeks of projects. Dress for safety; please bring ear and eye protection and gloves.
