In Person Classes & Online Courses

Are you looking to expand your knowledge in blacksmithing? An
in person class or an online class with us is a great way to grow! Roy has many
years of experiencing blacksmithing and has taught blacksmithing classes to
people of all ages and abilities on a wide variety of topics such as blacksmithing fundaments, forge welding intensive, copper bowl forging, hammer making, and forging animal heads. A few of the places Roy has taught include Southern Ohio Forge and Anvil, Goshen Historical Society School of Blacksmithing, Blue Hell Studio, and Tillers International.

At this time, we do not have any scheduled in-person classes or online classes, but we plan on doing some in the near future. When we release classes, you will hear about it through our social media outlets, our newsletter, and this page will be updated. In the meanwhile, consider taking a private class with us here in Harrisville, Michigan on a topic of your interest!

Testimonials

  • “My time taking classes with You was well spent! Roy helped me get over my fear of forge welding and now I look for opportunities to forge weld instead of avoiding them. I highly recommend taking a class with You if you need help with any topic related to forging. He is a great guy and well rounded from all forging perspectives, with a great family to boot!”

    –Keith B.

  • "I am so grateful for the two days I spent with Roy at Christ Centered Ironworks. Roy not only taught me the basics of blacksmithing, but he took the time to carefully answer every question (and helped me figure out the questions I didn’t know I had). Roy is an excellent teacher and his family was very welcoming. There’s just not a substitute for having someone teach you in person. I am looking forward to the next time I can come back!"

    -Rev. Michael D.

  • "There is more to forging than hammer, anvil, and steel. Roy and Jessica have showed me what It means to be a true blacksmith. Failure, ingenuity, and love for creating are the keys for being a good smith. "

    -Nathan M.

The cost for blacksmithing classes we teach vary based upon the venue. Price is
normally listed with the individual event’s information.

Roy teaches different types of classes for various skill levels. Our blacksmithing
fundaments class is perfect for beginners or even intermediate learners who want to hone their skills.

Other classes will state if they have prerequisites in the class description.
