When the temperature drops, our forges stay hot. Join our 8-week blacksmithing classes and discover the craft that connects fire, steel, and creativity, no matter your experience level.
Fall is the perfect time to learn a new skill, tackle a creative challenge, and spend your evenings making something real. At Blue Hell Studio, we shape steel, swing hammers, and turn heat into art.
Our Fall 2026 blacksmithing classes are now open for registration. With evening and Saturday sessions available, you'll get eight weeks of hands-on forging, fabrication, and creative exploration.
Check the schedule, claim your spot, and step up to the anvil.
Fall session starts the week of October 5th!
No experience? No problem. All levels are welcome, and we provide everything you need to get started.
