Important Information About Blacksmithing

Blacksmithing is a potentially dangerous craft. To ensure member safety, no members will be permitted to use the blacksmith forge or tools without certified completion of the mandatory safety course (or Shop Manager Certification for active Smiths.)

The Intro to Blacksmithing Safety Class is REQUIRED for anyone wishing to take ANY Blacksmithing courses or attend Open Forge events at Xerocraft.

Once you complete the Safety Course you have access to:

  • Weekly Open Forge (Alternating Friday and Saturday)
  • Intro to Blacksmithing Classes
  • Knife Making Class
  • Frequent community opportunities and partnerships
  • Professional demonstrations
  • And a welcoming and growing community of blacksmiths


Donations are always welcome as we have ongoing projects, wish lists for shop equipment, and maintenance. Xerocraft is a non-profit volunteer run entity.
