Family Blacksmithing Class for 1 Adult and 1 Child

3-hour Family Blacksmithing Class for 2 people (Adult & Child)Ticket price is for 2 people working together as a team: One adult over 18 years and one child 10-18 years old.A fun afternoon class where you get to make something by hand, helping each other hammer red-hot steel, and bring home what you made.The family workshop is a great way to put those screens away for a few hours and experience how it was to be a blacksmith in the olden day - but with a few more modern tools.You will heat up steel in a forge and hammer it into your project, helping each other to hammer, twist, and hold the steel.Your instructor will show each step as you go along and help whenever needed.The workshop cost includes 2 tickets meaning one adult over 18 years of age and one child 10-18 years of age.The two of you will pair up on one anvil and help each other complete your project - you each take home a forged item at the end of the day.For your forged project, you can choose between

• a BBQ fork to bring camping
• a marshmallow roasting fork
• a fire poker
• a back scratcher

Each of those projects consists of forging a long, thin piece of steel to your choice of "front end" and then twisting or hammering the handle to your liking.The workshop is 3 hours, from 1 - 4PM at Nordic Edge in Brookvale, NSW 2099.You will experience shaping steel with a hammer and fire, as well as learn a bit about the forge, anvil, tools, and techniques used in blacksmithing.This is only suitable for 1 Adult and 1 Child working as a team; at this time, it is not possible to bring more than one child per adult (18+).

No prior skills or experience required other than general fitness enough to lift a light hammer above your head for a minute or two at the time for the forging time of max two hours.This is very beginner-friendly and we are there to help if needed.
