Waltham RiverBeat Mini Class
A quick try at real blacksmithing

In this half-hour mini-class the student will use:
a coal forge
a bellows
a hammer
and tongs
to bend and forge a length of 1/4"-square mild steel into a hook that may be nailed or screwed to a wall, post, beam, bench... pretty-much anywhere you might wish to hang keys, a purse, a bag, a jacket, a tool... a useful item to take home.

The class will be held on Moody Street, on the bridge over the Charles during Waltham RiverBeat.

Gift Certificates for Waltham RiverBeat Mini Class are available.

Instructor: Prospect Hill Forge staff
Fee: $20 per student
Maximum 4 students

Prerequisite:
The Student will be at least 13 years old, reasonably fed and watered,
and will have executed a Waiver.
Please arrive about 5 minutes before class time.

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.) Click here for more safety information.

If you fall ill before class, do stay home.
And as soon as you realize that's what is going to happen, please CALL 781 81 oxide (781 816 9433) so we know not to wait for you.
