Join us for some summer fun and adventure in this four-day blacksmithing intensive.

Any skill level is welcome and students will be challenged and supported accordingly. Students will write an artist statement and be invited to exhibit their work in an end of program open studio event.
We are excited to provide a safe and supportive environment for our 2SLGBTQ+ students who will be taught by queer instructors.
Students must bring a lunch and a water bottle and dress in appropriate attire- long pants and close toed shoes.
Safety equipment, tools and snacks will be provided.
Groups should specify in advance which areas they are interested in seeing. Field trips are provided for youth ages 12 and older.
