During this workshop, see the blacksmith shop in action and learn more about this historic trade.
Join us for a workshop exploring our historic blacksmith shop. One of our volunteer blacksmiths, Paul, will demonstrate traditional blacksmithing techniques and introduce the tools of the trade. Participants will learn the important role a blacksmith shop played on a working ranch and how blacksmiths supported ranch life.
Also, participants will take part in a hands-on activity inspired by blacksmith branding. Instructors from Tandy Leather will guide attendees through stamping designs onto vegan leather. Create your own take-home piece while learning about the craft of marking and decoration.
If you’ve ever been curious about how a historic blacksmith shop worked and want to see it in action, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to learn more.
Recommended for ages 7 years and older. Space is limited. We hope you join us!
