Description

Travel back in time to Europe's Iron Age as you learn to forge everyday utensils from the Celtic era. Begin with penannular brooches to cover many techniques–squaring, drawing out, twisting, scrolling, etc.–while you get acclimated to your forge. Continue to reimagine these historic processes as you forge belt buckles, forks, knives, and more, reviewing proper hammer technique and learning tips and tricks along the way. All levels welcome.

Brock Martin has been smithing for sixteen years (full-time for eleven years) and though he dabbles in an array of metalwork, his focus is on historical weapons recreation and fantasy weapons reproduction. He says, "I watched Conan the Barbarian too many times as a child and this was the natural outcome."
