Blacksmithing Workshops at Wade House
Hammer Your Own Knife or Hatchet!
Strike while the iron is hot, hear the “clang” of the hammer, and feel the heat from the forge as you learn the art of blacksmithing in our 1860s-era Dockstader Blacksmith Shop at Wade House. During your forging tutorial, you’ll shape unique knives from various materials and customize the handles with your own design to make a distinctive, one-of-a-kind knife. Full-day workshop participants will forge two knives, while half-day participants will forge one knife. Hatchet workshop participants will forge a belt-sized hatchet. Forging items with your own hands is a unique experience you won’t soon forget—register now to create a custom souvenir and reserve your spot. Hatchet workshop participants must have previous metalworking or blacksmith experience.
