COURSES AND WORKSHOPS
At Thak Ironworks we teach a variety of courses. I consider it a privilege to introduce the exciting world of the forge to eager would be blacksmiths. Myself (Robb or Thak if you prefer) Dean Piesner and Muh Tsyr Yee are all seasoned veterans who have each spent more than 20 years in intensive study of our respective crafts. We bring this experience along with a strong sense of conviction to our teaching. Whether you are considering a career in metalworking, want to explore blacksmithing as a hobby or even just looking to spend a once in a lifetime really cool weekend, this is the place to start. Take a chance, sign up for a course. You will have a blast I guarantee it.
