You and your sweetie (or a buddy!) are invited to join our experienced blacksmith for a special couples-only Valentine-themed afternoon in the forge! You will learn basic forge safety and metalsmithing skills to create your own heart-shaped item from start to finish. No experience is required. This program is for ages 18+. Blandford Nature Center will provide safety equipment including gloves, ear and eye protection. 

Pricing (per participant):
Member: $90
Non-Member: $110

This program is for ages 18 and up only. Each registration requires 2 participants.

Please Note: This program will be held in our historical blacksmith shop. It is recommended to dress for the weather – our forge is inside an unheated, drafty building. Long shirts and pants and heavy duty, closed-toe shoes are also recommended for your safety. We suggest non-synthetic clothing for protection from sparks. If you do not have non-synthetic clothing, we can provide a leather apron. Please also bring a water bottle with you.

By attending our Community Programs, you are supporting BNC's mission of connecting the community to our natural world. We look forward to getting outside with you!
