THIS EVENT FILLS UP FAST SO REGISTER SOON!
Get ready for a hot time and be a blacksmith for a day!
Learn how to forge iron and then actually forge your own item to take
home. A blacksmith is a metalsmith who forges metal using tools like a
hammer and an anvil to repair and make tools, ornamental objects,
hardware, and more.
Virginia is a state with strong
historical and modern ties to blacksmithing. The first permanent
English settlement of Jamestown was established in 1607 and
blacksmithing was one of the earliest trades to begin in the New
World. Early colonists relied on their blacksmiths to produce the
tools, nails, and hardware necessary for building up the fledgling
settlement.
The heat is on = ONLY 8 spaces are available. So hurry and get
your registration in before it's too late!
