Ready to channel your inner blacksmith? Thrill seekers and fans of Forged in Fire will love taking a blacksmithing class at our workshop in Brooklyn!

Before working with iron, people used bronze to create tools, weapons, and ornaments as far back as 1200 BCE. Today, the craft of blacksmithing has found new life in artistic and decorative metalworking and is practiced as both an art form and a niche trade.
