Blacksmithing 101 Course 

The 2022 class was held on February 12th.  The 2023 has not been scheduled.  Please complete the below form to be notified when the 2023 course registration is open.

Dauset trails sponsors our Blacksmithing 101 Course for youth (12 - 17 years old).  Unfortunately, due to the resources and time required of our volunteers we are only able to offer this class once per year. 

This is an introductory level course that will focus on the basics of blacksmithing including safety, tools, fire management and forging.  See the link below for a full student syllabus.  The students will leave the class with a finished forged hook that they will make and receive a copy of Edge of the Anvil: A Resource Book for the Blacksmith by Jack Andrews.  

​Location: Dauset Trails Nature Center, 360 Mt. Vernon Church Rd, Jackson, GA 30233
Date:  2023 Class TBD
Time: 8:30am
Duration: 4 - 6 hours
Age Restrictions: 12 - 17 years old (at date of course) *Parent or Guardian must remain present during the class
​Cost: $50 deposit which will be refunded upon completion of the course (100% refund available if cancelled a minimum 5 days before class)

Note: We are only able to offer 8 slots for this course.  Slots will be filled in the order that we receive the online registrations.  Alternates, will be selected in order of registration and notified of their selection if another student cancels or fails to send the deposit by 23 March 2020.
