Description

The Parent Child Blacksmithing Experience at Shopspace is a hands-on workshop designed for adults and children aged 10 to 13 to learn basic forging techniques together. This interactive class allows pairs to collaborate on crafting a functional project from hot metal under professional guidance.

Participants will learn to use a hammer and anvil to heat, taper, cut, bend, and twist iron. You will start by hammering a point on a round bar, then proceed to shape and flatten the metal to create a custom wall hook or art piece. The session covers essential safety protocols for manipulating hot metal, proper tool handling, and the fundamentals of working with a propane forge.

This course is ideal for parents who want to share a creative, skill-building activity with their child. The atmosphere is focused and educational, providing a unique opportunity to bond while mastering new manual skills. Please note that an adult must participate as a registered student alongside the child. Secure your spots today to start your journey into the art of blacksmithing in a safe and supportive environment.
