Now's your chance! Join us on Saturday, Aug 22 for A Taste of Blacksmithing at the Old Stone House Museum & Historic Village. This hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop will introduce you to one of the world's oldest and most enduring trades.

Working alongside experienced blacksmiths, you'll learn how to:
🔥 Start and manage a coal forge
🔨 Heat steel to forging temperature
⚒️ Master basic hammer control and forging techniques
⛓️ Try your hand at forge welding

By the end of the morning, you'll head home with your own handcrafted projects—including hooks, nails, and a forge-welded chain link or two!
