Bottle Opener Class

Begin your blacksmithing journey in this hands-on single-session introductory class. Learn the essential techniques of blacksmithing while you forge your own bottle opener. In this small group setting, you'll work with a bar of steel, using traditional fire and hammer to create a beautiful, functional tool that transforms raw metal into an artistic piece you'll use with pride. Every student leaves with a finished bottle opener ready to use immediately.
