Prospect Hill Forge is
dedicated to teaching, learning, and practicing the Craft and
the Art of
Blacksmithing. Our overall
goal is to awake in our students the
joy of working hot iron and an appreciation of the beauty of both the
result and the process.
Some of our blacksmithing classes focus on theory, technique,
and tool
use. (the Craft part)
Other classes focus on the
creation of a particular object and making it well. (the Art part)
All classes are based on traditional blacksmithing
techniques.
We offer
semester-length courses, short courses, and single-session classes,
from survey classes for rank beginners to monitored shop-time
for advanced smiths.
