Tongs are essential to a blacksmith’s shop — there is always room for one more pair! This immersive one-day workshop will explore the significance of blacksmith tongs and cover the purposes of various designs. Participants will practice each step to make two fundamental types of tongs- the flat jaw and bolt tongs.
This is an intermediate-level workshop: we ask that participants have a hands-on understanding of the fundamental tools and techniques of blacksmithing before they register.
Class Fee: $190 – includes project material and safety equipment.
Class Size: 8
