MORE ABOUT OUR CLASSES
Lawless Forge brings people together through dynamic, empowering, and accessible blacksmithing experiences.
It all started with a weekend forging knives from railroad spikes—an unforgettable bonding moment between friends. Inspired by that experience, founder Max Levi set out to create something bigger: a space where families, friends, and coworkers could connect in a hands-on way most people never get to try.
Our three-hour classes are designed for beginners and open to anyone ages 6 and up. Book a session and forge something unforgettable—both in steel and in memory.
