We opened officially on May first 2007 but our Grand Opening Bash was later in the month, so it seems fitting that our Birthday Party should be a bit late too and the evening of Saturday the 8th of May (New Date!) fits that bill beautifully.
If you like, you can come early and visit the Open House next door at Metalwerx the jewelry school next-door.
We'll have one of the forges charged with charcoal so that we can cook over it. (Food cooked over coal is not a tasty treat.)
So, mark your calendars to drop by the smithy have a schmooze, a beverage, and a nibble. As with any Open house, if you've completed Basics or Rudiments III you can come in and play on our dime.
Gift Certificates for Our Third Birthday Party are available.
Saturday evening from ~6 until fairly late dates×
Instructor: PHF Staff
No charge, but feel free to bring party supplies. per student
Legally we have to limit attendance at any one time to, what, 50 people I think.
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.)
