The Bootstrap Series
A series of meetings/classes built around the idea of starting from scratch (well, as close as we can reasonably get) to make a set of tools. Make a chisel, use that to make a file, use those to make tongs, use those to make more tools...
(It's still a half-formed idea, but I think it would be fun. -cw)

Some other classes or types of classes that may be offered (in no particular order):
Remedial hammer swinging
Animal and human heads
Leaves and flowers

Door knobs
Stirrups
Spurs
Other Tack
Window grilles
Couples smithing
