Forged Critters is an introductory metalworking workshop where participants learn to shape steel into small animal figures. This hands-on session teaches fundamental blacksmithing techniques for beginners looking to explore the craft in a safe and supportive environment.

In this class, you will use hammers, punches, and chisels to forge a metal dog or mouse. You will learn how to add intricate textures and details to your creations. Beyond the basics, you have the option to refine your work into a functional project, such as a custom hook or a decorative bottle opener. These items serve as excellent personalized gifts or keepsakes.

This workshop is designed for anyone interested in blacksmithing, regardless of prior experience. The atmosphere is collaborative and energetic, focusing on building practical skills through direct application. You will leave with a solid foundation in metal shaping and a completed project to take home. We encourage all curious makers to join us for this unique creative experience. Space is limited, so please register early to secure your spot at the anvil.
