What to wear and bring:
We will review all our safety protocols in person when you arrive. If you do not feel well play it safe and stay home!
Vaccination against Covid-19 is preferred for all classes. Thank you for protecting yourself and others!
Only wear natural fiber clothing, no synthetics or blends. Jeans and leather / canvas shoes are a requirement. We recommend bringing a T-shirt and a long sleeve shirt. Make sure your pant cuffs go over the tops of your shoes, and there are no holes in any of your clothing.
Wear only clothing that you can part with, for it may be destroyed. You will not get to forge if you do not follow these rules.
If you have your own respirator (for knife making classes) please bring it, otherwise you will be supplied with one (that you will be responsible for bringing to and from class).
When transporting knives please use a knife roll/case, or tightly wrap it in a towel, and make sure to put a small luggage lock on your bag.
Absence, scheduling, and refunds:
48 hours notice of class absence is required. A $75 fee is applied per each day missed.
Each student is allotted one free rescheduled dates per Small, Medium, Large, or Sword project.
Safety is always number one, and communication is key. You’re sharing space with other blacksmiths wielding hot iron so always make others aware of your intentions, and pay attention to your surroundings.
If you are not being safe teachers are permitted to immediately send you home for the rest of the day. If you continue to pose a risk to yourself or others you may be removed from the class, to be refunded at the teacher’s discretion.
If you come to class intoxicated the teacher has the right to kick you out of the class and ban you from the school if they deem it necessary.
If you break or damage equipment you may be held responsible for fixing or replacing that piece of equipment, or covering the cost of having a service do so.
Please be advised that at all classes and gift cards are non-refundable, however they have no expiration date, and can be redeemed or transferred at any time.
