November 17, 201213 yr Hello everybody, Glad that I found a forum to hopefully help out with some questions within the blacksmith community. I am 20 years old and currently residing in Midlothian VA, just outside of Richmond, and was wondering if anybody knew of any places that would offer lessons to a beginner in the art. I have only a few months of experience, when I practiced the art in my previous homes. Any tips or leads would be greatly appreciated. Pleasure to be here, and I look forward to speaking with you all. -TJ
November 17, 201213 yr A good polace to start is Blacksmithing Groups in the IForgeIron pages tab > articles. There are several that teach blacksmithing in Va. Go to the meetings and you will meet them.
November 30, 201213 yr Welcome to the area Ants. Definitely check out Central VA Blacksmith Guild. Www.cvbg.org Also on Facebook https://m.facebook.com/pages/Central-Virginia-Blacksmith-Guild/136427419800576?id=136427419800576&_rdr We usually meet the second Saturday of each month. Any questions feel free to contact me through here or the fb page.
November 30, 201213 yr I think you just missed Camp Fenby if you have any interest in historical smithing.
December 1, 201213 yr WELCOME to IFORGEIRON I give beginner lessons I'm in Amelia county near the court house so not too far / maybe 20 or 30 minutes. PM me here if you would like or go to yesteryearforge.com
