My private blacksmithing and knifemaking classes are designed as a progression of skills. Each class builds on the last, taking you from basic hammer control to crafting a fully functional knife. Following the sequence ensures you learn safely, efficiently, and with confidence — and each session leaves you with a finished take-home project to show your progress.
Each private session has a base fee covering instructor time and overhead, plus a per-student add-on. Classes accommodate 1–4 students.
As a certified physics educator and blacksmithing instructor, I offer safe, engaging workshops for homeschool families and youth. We explore heat, force, metal properties, and more through fire and forging. Instruction incorporating 3D printing is also available.
Programs can be one-time experiences or recurring modules.
