Forging with Families

Hammering a piece together with your family forges a bond which is hard to create otherwise. One has to strike while the iron is hot and be fully present in the moment. To see the glow of the fire reflected in the children's eyes is invaluable.

Courses for your family

By now, there are two options to choose from. The minimum age for children to participate is 6 years. With younger children, it might be tricky to have forging longer than one hour. The courses are adaptable to this. Just contact me and we will find a way.

Catch Fire (Starter-Level) - About 2h

We will start with a quick show of the workshop and the tools of a blacksmith. Then we will dress up safety equipment, light the forge and forge a simple piece together. I will guide you throughout the whole process.
When this first piece is finished we will take a short break, have a refreshment and reflect on the experiences made.
In the second part, you choose amongst several projects which you want to forge with your children. Depending on how confident you feel, I will either stand beside and give hints or work together with you. If there is a strong desire to forge a certain thing we will see at the moment, what is possible.

The course will end with a cup of coffee or tea and the possibility to talk about the day. You can take with you all the forged pieces and a certificate which shows You have been blacksmithing.
