Taste of Blacksmithing 2017

Have you ever thought of being a metalsmith and bending, twisting, and pounding a special treasure? The Guild of Metalsmiths is now offering a one-day “taste” of the craft.
Please wear cotton clothing and bring safety glasses, hearing protection, and leather gloves.
The Guild will supply all tools and materials for the day.
We will begin with covering the most important safety practices, move into the art of fire control, hammer accuracy, and then onto several basic procedures of metal work. While not intended to replace the Guild’s 4-day Beginner’s Class, this offering allows those intrigued by blacksmithing to experience it firsthand before deciding to pursue the craft.
Everyone will take home samples of tapers, twists, and bends, as well as a functioning Drive Hook as pictured upper right.

To register, make a check out to “The Guild of Metalsmiths” and mail, along with your contact info, to:

Ramsey, MN 55303

$40 Guild members / $50 non-Guild members
Note: Acceptance priority determined by postmark.
