Holden teaches blacksmithing classes and gives live demonstrations built around the fundamentals of the craft: fire, hammer, material, and patience.
Classes can be arranged for individuals, small groups, schools, community organizations, and private gatherings. A session might cover basic forge safety and tool use, a first project at the anvil, or a demonstration of traditional techniques and historic ironwork.
No previous experience is required. Holden will shape the session to the group, the venue, and what you want people to leave knowing how to do.
