Open Anvil: Blacksmithing & Blades – Open Forge Session

Ready to get back on the anvil? This is your time to forge freely.

Whether you're continuing a project from class or starting something new, Open Anvil gives you 4 full hours of shop access—tools, anvils, fuel, and forge included.

What Is Open Anvil?

Instruction is minimal—but guidance is available as needed.
