Be A Blacksmith

Beginning Blacksmithing will be offered at Harriton House on Saturdays as a cooperative program with Main Line School Night. Introductory class is scheduled for Saturdays April 30th & May 7th, 2011, and the continuing beginner's class is scheduled for June 7th & 14th. Come and work with  master blacksmith  Stephen Sears, of Sears IronWorks in Ottsville, PA. You will learn about tools and fire and coal and metals. There will be a reference library of books and forged iron objects to see and handle. You will get hands-on experience in shaping small items of forged iron (steel actually), and you will go home with the product of your labor and instruction. Younger, older, or somewhere in the middle, or whether you think you have large biceps or small ones, you can participate. For further information contact Harriton by e-mail at Info@HarritonHouse.org or by old fashioned telephone at 610 525 0201. Fee charged and registration is through Main Line School Night at www.MainLineSchoolNight.org.
