Damascus Steel Ring
Join up to 6 other participants and forge your very own ring! This course takes the timeless skills of blacksmithing along with the delicate precision of jewelry making to create a once in a lifetime experience. Begin with a chunk of Damascus stainless steel (made in-house!) and forge your way to a unique, fitted ring to take home the very same day.
$175 per Adult
This public enrollment experience is 3.5 hours.

Bottle Opener
Begin with a rod of steel and make your very own functional bottle opener! Learn an exciting array of techniques such as twisting, bending, scrolling, and tapering hot steel. If anyone in your group doesn’t drink alcohol, we’ll help them make a towel/coat hook instead.
Least physical of all options.
$95 per Adult | $40 per Child
Horseshoe Knife
Begin with half a horseshoe and walk away with the coolest knife you’ve ever seen! Perfect for a steak knife, paring knife, or box cutter. In case it’s not enough to forge a knife, you’ll also use some super fun power tools such as belt sanders.
$80 per Adult | $40 per Child
Most fulfilling and exciting of all options simply because you’ll see a horseshoe transform into a beautiful knife. Great option if you enjoy a bit of critical thinking and something truly unique.
