Yesteryear School of Blacksmithing
“Where traditions are forged with timeless skill.”

1918 West Virginia Avenue Crewe Virginia 23930

This school is just getting off the ground and has already begun to enroll students into one of its upcoming classes:

“Basic tool making and Treadle Hammer techniques”
With Mark & Mindy Gardner August 18-22 2008


This 5 day course will focus on the fundamentals of forging and using the tools needed to learn the techniques of Chasing and Repoussé on steel using a treadle hammer. You will begin your journey by learning the fundamentals and forging your own set of tools out of S7 tool steel. You will then tackle a series of projects ranging from a leaf to a feather; then ultimately onto designing your own steel medallion. You will not only learn the techniques needed to use the treadle hammer and tools, but you will also have an opportunity to use heat to color your projects to add that essential touch of life to your work. This class is perfect for the beginner up to the advanced smith. You will leave with the pride and knowledge to enjoy this art form for years to come.

TUITION: $225.00 per student
The tuition covers the class cost and materials used in the 5 day course! This is a special low cost rate to open this opportunity up and make it affordable for everyone!!! There are only 10-12 openings for the class!

This course usually costs twice as much at other schools in the country. This is a one time offer to make this opportunity affordable to everyone!
