The Work: We offer project based 1 on 1 and couples workshops in a fun and casual environment. We are excited to help get you started on your bladesmithing journey. Please be aware: we are not a blacksmithing facility. We specialize only in bladesmithing.
​
The Shop: We welcome you to our home and quaint backyard shop. We are not a high end production facility and we operate relatively primitively with limited tooling. Our workshops are great for those building their first home shop or one who is a complete novice without any tooling.
​
Chris' Instruction: Chris' teaching style is laid back, fun, and reliant on a hands on approach. He is well versed in education having spent many years teaching as both a drum instructor and bladesmith instructor. He is excited to welcome you to the community and camaraderie that knife making brings!
