The British Blacksmith Central New York Blacksmithing School. We offer classes and blacksmithing experiences for all levels Mark

I am an artist blacksmith and I came to America about 25 years ago from Britain. I use traditional blacksmithing methods as well as modern techniques to form unique pieces of functional art. My original forge was called Westshore Forge in case you knew me then! I have taught a wide range of subjects for more than 25 years as a teacher, college professor, and artist. I thoroughly enjoy teaching blacksmithing to new and experienced people of all ages. It is exciting to see the look on someones face when the metal moves in different ways and the ease with which you can transform something some hard and lifeless into beautiful shapes. I teach small classes where you will get individual attention and be abel to forge your own items. From simple hooks to complicated multi-piece forgings, I am happy to help you get to your dream projects. My introductory courses are three hours long and it’s all about having a good time and making something to take home and show your family and friends. I am a proud member of the New York State Designer Blacksmiths (NYSDB), the Artist-Blacksmith’s Association of North America (ABANA) and the British Artist Blacksmiths Association (BABA). Thanks for stopping by and please let me know if you would like me to forge you something special for your home. Or if you would like to take a class and learn how to forge red hot steel.
