What you'll do
Looking to try something unique in Melbourne? Join this engaging metalwork class in Melbourne and learn the fascinating art of blacksmithing by creating your very own utility knife using traditional techniques.
- Discover the process of planning, designing, forging, and shaping your blade with a hammer, fire, an anvil, and grinder.
- Learn how to hand-forge the knife's shape, including the handle, blade, and bevel using mild steel.
- Gain new skills by making a custom leather sheath for your knife, taking your craftsmanship to the next level.
Throughout the workshop, you will be guided by expert instructors in a safe and supportive environment, ensuring a rewarding and fulfilling experience. No prior experience is necessary, so don't worry if you're new to this - you'll be taken step-by-step through the entire process.
By the end of the class, you'll not only leave with a beautifully crafted utility knife but also with a newfound appreciation for the art of blacksmithing. Dive into this hands-on activity and enjoy the transformative journey of creating something special with your own hands. This workshop is also a brilliant gift.

Your teacher
I teach blacksmithing and do my best to inspire people to do what they have never done before. I’ll show you how’s it’s done today and how it was done in the past, From first timers through to more experienced, you will be bending steel like you've never done before. You can buy gift vouchers fast and easily through ClassBento website or book into a Public or private workshop. I want you to be proud of yourself and succeed. You'll walk away with a fine piece of art you just made with your own hands. Don't be surprised when you say...."I didn't know I had it in me. Check out what I just made"
