If you are wanting to learn the Basics of Blacksmithing, plan to join us on Saturday, June 7th for an informative, hands-on course conducted by Northwest Blacksmith Association Board Member Derek Lanhart.

The session will be from 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM in the NWBA Mentoring Center located at the Cowlitz County Fairgrounds (1900 7th Avenue, Longview, Washington).

There will be a registration fee of $100 per student to cover supplies and equipment used during the workshop. Space is limited to 10 participants and preregistration is required by May 25th. This course is designed for individuals who have never done blacksmithing before or complete beginners. Please wear clothing made from natural fibers (cotton, wool, leather) as synthetic materials tend to melt instead of burn. Closed toe shoes (steel toe preferred) are required.

Registration form is located here: Beginner’s Blacksmith Workshop Registration

Membership in NWBA is not required for this workshop. Contact nwbainfo@gmail.com for additional information.
