Guided Open SmithyThis is a time to work on your own projects with an experienced smith at hand to help work out ideas, techniques, and approaches.
The experienced smith may be working on something of their own during this session, but their priority is to be there for you. Feel free to interrupt them at any time.
Gift Certificates for Guided Open Smithy are available.
3 hours dates×
Instructor: typically Carl or Willow
Fee: $95 for the first three hours, $50/hr in 15 minute units to run over time per student
Maximum 4 students, one per forge
Please wear proper clothing for visiting or working in the forge:
- closed top shoes
(Preferably leather, preferably high-topped. Sneakers are sufficient...
but sandals, crocs, pumps, mules... are not. If you can see the skin of your foot, or the foot of your socks, it's not good enough.)
- natural fiber clothing
(Synthetics are a risk because: IF a HOT thing touches them it's likely that the material will melt and stick to your flesh, making the burn even worse than it would be through a natural fiber.)
- long pants that cover the tops of the shoes.
(To keep hot coals and bits of steel from getting down into your shoes. Which I hear is a bunch of No Fun.)
