Open Forge March 2026-Members Only

Instructor and Class Manager: Harvey Steele, 239 671-8887, hsteele@handeecleat.com

The Education Committee is offering a Free Open Forge for Guild Members Only. You can join on site.  There are eight forges available for our membership to use. There is no lesson or agenda except to get some iron hot and hit it with a hammer. If you just want to stop by and hang out, you are welcome to do so. If there’s space at a forge, have at it. This is an excellent opportunity to hang out with and learn from fellow smiths. Beginners are welcome and there are generally people around that can answer questions or provide assistance.

Bring a folding chair, if you wish.

Lunch arrangement: Bring your lunch or go to restaurants in the area.

To register online go to The Guild of Metalsmiths website, https://www.metalsmith.org/education  or email the class manager to reserve your place.
Minors (under 18) must have a parent present. Minors under 14 need one adult per child. There will be no sharing of forges.
