Students will spend 5 days at New England Metal Works in Maine taking a privately taught beginners blacksmithing course. The goal of the class is to familiarize students with the tools and techniques that are employed by the blacksmith. Students will learn the proper use of tools, good habits of metal work, and then apply their newly learned skills to specific projects. In the evenings, students will be able to enjoy trips to Lewiston and other towns in the area.
