Orange County Blacksmith Guild


Heritage Museum of Orange County 3101 W Harvard St, Santa Ana, CA
We are all volunteers. 
This shop exists to pass along the craft of blacksmithing. 
Our objective with this class is that you understand the basics of the craft and then, thru your learning process, gain as much knowledge as you can. 

We are here to teach you a process that is over 4,000 years old and a process that, up until 40 years ago was a dying craft. 
When you have learned the basics, we welcome the opportunity to see where your imagination and abilities  take you. 
Students have access thru the museum bus and employee entrance
Drive on thru and park in the big lot by the school
Start with our Intro Class

After Intro Class completion you can begin the 
Basic I Class

Upon completion of Basic I, you have access to our grinders, welders, and other powered equipment.
