This is a weekly, ongoing Blacksmithing class led by Jordy the Knife Maker, a professional Blacksmith based in Thonotosassa, Florida. Classes are held every week at 12921 cox lane trl Thonotosassa Fl and focus on teaching students the fundamentals of blacksmithing— going beyond simply completing a project to developing the actual skills, techniques, and mindset essential to the craft.
The class is open to all ages and is a great fit for adults, teens, and homeschoolers looking for a hands-on, skill-based experience.
What’s Included
For $200/month, students receive:
• Weekly instruction with a Master Blacksmith
• Full access to forge equipment and tools
• All basic materials for skill-building and practice
• Safety equipment provided
• A small-group setting for personal guidance and a growing community
How It Works
For the first several of sessions, students focus on building a strong foundation: learning proper forging technique, heat control, safety, and shop awareness. Once a student is confident and ready, they’ll gain access to a project menu with beginner, intermediate, and advanced items.
Each project comes with a separate materials cost. Students choose their project based on their current skill level and pay only for the materials needed to complete it. These projects are completed during regular Wednesday class time with continued guidance and feedback. This approach allows each student to progress at their own pace while still being challenged to grow.
Why This Class Is Different
More than just learning to make things, students develop patience, problem-solving, and true confidence. This is a craft you can take with you, continue at home, and grow into for years to come.
Classes are ongoing and space is limited.
