Blacksmithing: These classes are designed for adults. We accept students as young as 12, but require that the student attend with an adult to assist them. The accompanying adult must also be registered for the class, and will have the opportunity to work on their own project as well.
The accompanying adult is there to reinforce safety, assist the young student in navigating an adult class, step in to offer physical assistance if needed.
This rule applies to students between the ages 12-14.
Students 15-17 can attend on their own, but a guardian must sign a release of liability form and check in with the instructor prior to registering the minor.
