These are informal forge sessions intended to introduce people to blacksmithing, give new members and those without a permanent shop a regular place and time to spend at the anvil, and also an opportunity to socialize.

You don't have to be a member to attend an open forge but you will want to join soon after! We highly recommend you wear all cotton clothing, and leather shoes. Synthetic tends to melt if something hot hits it, and this could in turn stick to your skin. Bring safety glasses if you have them. A leather glove for your non-dominant hand would be good also. You want to be able to remove it quickly and easily if necessary. 

Every Monday, Tuesday or Thursday from 5 to 9 PM

FYI: Open Forge events are always held unless posted here or on Facebook. Follow Western Reserve Artist Blacksmith Association on Facebook for last minute changes.
