Learn the basics of blacksmithing in this three hour workshop.

Work with hot steel to create your own custom bottle opener! In the process, you’ll hone blacksmithing techniques, including slitting, drifting, punching, bending, and more. At the end of the session, put your handiwork to the test when you crack open a bottled beverage to toast your accomplishment!

These sessions are led by Rivers of Steel staff artist and bladesmith Jared Ondovchik (aka Artifact Metalworks).

Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are not included with the registration—BYOB.
