Orange County Blacksmith Guild
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.
Heritage Museum of Orange County 3101 W Harvard St, Santa Ana, CA
