WORKSHOPS

Having taught many blacksmiths and farriers while at Olds College for 7 years, Jeri is comfortable in front of a crowd of learners and really enjoys teaching. 

Guest clinicians from across North America have brought their knowledge to share with blacksmiths from the prairies, BC, the Pacific Northwest states, and even the Atlantic provinces. 

Introductory classes

One to two days at the forge in small classes offer 1 on 1 focus. Students discover the fundamentals of forge work and tool use. 

Intermediate classes 

 Those returning to the forge for more intensive sessions stand to gain knowledge in building tools including hammers, tongs, drifts others  fundamental to the craft. 

Advanced / Clinician Guided 

 Our yearly offering with a guest clinician, is aimed at more advanced working smiths that are looking to gain experience in group work,  tool making, sculpture design and execution
