Scrappy Innovation + the Infinitely Scalable

07/12/2026 - 07/24/2026

Haystack Mountain School of Crafts (89 Haystack School Drive, Deer Isle, ME 04627)

This workshop uses design ideation and craft techniques to develop each participant’s creative voice in metal furniture and sculpture. We will jump between the Hotshop and the Fab Lab, cutting digitally designed parts with a CNC plasma cutter and assembling and further manipulating the parts through metalworking techniques. We will sketch, model, critique, and weld. Whether your goals are sculptural or functional, living in a virtual 3D space, or for a public art sculpture, Haystack will become our creative laboratory. Experience with Rhino and computer modeling is a plus, but not necessary. All levels welcome.

Hannah Vaughan (she/her) is a designer and craftswoman, originally from Los Angeles, CA. She currently runs her own design/build studio in the Hudson Valley in Newburgh, NY. Studio projects range from large sculptural installations and furniture design to architectural works. Vaughan’s design has a direct material brutality to it, from using crushed cars and chainsaw-carved stumps to large rusted panels. Her works combine a primitive urgency with the infrastructure of our industrial landscape.

Vivian Beer (she/her) is a designer/sculptor based in New England. Her sleek, abstracted metal and concrete furniture combine the sensibilities of contemporary design, craft, and sculpture to create objects that alter viewers’ expectations of and interface with the domestic landscape and public spaces. Beer received a BFA from Maine College of Art & Design and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy. Her work is in many museum and public art collections, and she has held numerous residencies, including at the Penland. She was a 2014 Research Fellow at the Smithsonian, was the winner of Ellen Degeneres’ Design Challenge, and named a 2017 USA Fellow.

Viking Chest Hardware

10/10/26-10/12/26

North House Folk School, Grand Marais MN

Bring some historic detail to your next woodworking project with authentic Viking-era chest hardware! Viking-era chests are cleverly built to require just a few nails and hinges to put them together. Using sources like archeological finds and reports, we’ll fashion reproduction chest hinges, hasps, and other bits for a proper chest. This all-levels class will aim to give blacksmithing newbies a solid start, and build the skills of those with more experience. Teaching will include a focus on body-friendly forging practices, efficient hammering techniques, and good coal fire management to make smiths of all sizes and experience levels more effective. Newer smiths will start with a pair of classic simple hinges before moving on to the mysteries of nail making. More experienced smiths might take on more involved hinge designs and add padlock hasps. We’ll have a look at historic chest designs, and talk about how to mount the hardware effectively. Re-enactors and SCA-ers welcome! Students should be able to swing a 1.5 pound+ hammer, have the stamina to work most of the day, and be safe and responsible.

Bespoke Basketry Tools

10/6/26-10/8/26

North House Folk School, Grand Marais MN



What basketry tools do you wish you had, or wish existed? Let’s try to make them! This all-levels class will aim to give blacksmithing newbies a solid start, and build the skills of those with more experience, while we forge functional tools for all kinds of basketmaking. This course will focus on body-friendly forging practices, efficient hammering techniques, and good coal fire management to make smiths of all sizes and experience levels more effective. We’ll start out learning together to forge a beefy bodkin. Students will then explore creating the ideal rapping iron, determining the desired weight, profile, length, and taper. Finally, students will work to make their own ideal tools: smaller bodkins, perfect packing tools, and lashing awls are all possibilities. This class is perfect for basketmakers with tool needs, and friends and family members who would rather smack hot metal than weave willow. Students are encouraged to bring their needs and ideas to class!

Students should be able to swing a 1.5 pound+ hammer, have the stamina to work all day, and be safe and responsible.
Session Information

This course is part of Basket Week 2026. Plan to stay a day longer for the Gathering Day on Friday, October 9, which features demonstrations, speakers, and community gatherings offered as a benefit to students enrolled in Basket Week coursework. Full schedule available online in summer 2026.

Get Hooked on Forging

11/14/2026 - 11/15/2026

Center for Metal Arts, 106 Iron St, Johnstown, PA 15906

During this weekend workshop students will get an introduction to the craft of the blacksmith while making fun decorative hooks for their home. Learn and try many of the skills and techniques that make forging fun and special such as tapering, texturing, bending, scrolling, twisting and punching.

Whether you have tried forging before or have always been curious about it, this workshop is perfect for people who want to have fun and learn about this traditional craft in a historic location. The goal of this weekend is to give students the tools, techniques and space to try forging in a fun environment and empower them to make unique hand crafted hooks that are sure to accent their home or will make great gifts. Students can expect to learn about and try making several different styles of individual hooks and if time allows, rivet a couple to a back plate for a small coat or hat rack.

This workshop is open to everyone, no prior experience is necessary to participate. Come alone or sign up with a friend or loved one and forge together making memories and hooks that will last a lifetime.

Friction Folder

11/7/2026 - 11/8/2026

Center for Metal Arts, 106 Iron St, Johnstown, PA 15906

This is a two-day class where we will forge and finish a friction folder pocketknife using simple forging tools. Drawing out the blade and forming the handle with an emphasis on clear understanding of the process and technique, including heat treatment, grinding, and sharpening the blade.

Forged friction folders are the simplest forms of a folding knife, and are very useful and enjoyable to make. There is no lock or mechanism holding the blade open or closed, so the lever is one of the focal points of the knife working correctly. The lever is a fascinating part of the design of this project. The forging of it is an exercise in the movement of mass creating a transition between handle and blade.

Another focal point is the pivot action. In order to work correctly, the blade must be forged so it sits in the handle evenly in the closed and open position. The forging itself becomes integral to the action of this folding knife.

I’ve been using NYC Subway tokens as washers for the outside of the pivot, and I’m thrilled that CMA was able to locate tokens from Johnstown that we will use to make these special.

Day of the Tentacle

6/7/2026

The Steel Yard

Steel is typically seen as a rigid, industrial material – steel girders support vast roofs, steel automobiles are stamped out with machine precision, and even mundane items such as food cans and kitchen appliances are created with straight, exact lines. In this class we’ll be exploring how we can change this rigid material into a graceful, organic shape using both new and old techniques. We’ll use a blend of modern and ancient techniques to shape mild steel and add character and fluidness to what will ultimately become a tentacle-shaped keychain.
Students will learn blacksmithing techniques that reach back as far as the 14th century such as drawing, tapering, and bending in addition to modern techniques such as MIG welding to create additional features on our tentacle. Particular attention will be paid to hammer technique while blacksmithing as this class serves as an introduction to blacksmithing. Students will also be introduced to basic shop techniques and safety including the use of belt sanders, angle grinders, and drill presses. A small amount of introduction to MIG welding will be provided but this course will not cover MIG welding techniques in depth.

Forged Leaves: Introduction to Organic Forms

8/23/2026

The Steel Yard

One of the great tricks of blacksmithing is making a non-organic material (steel) look like something living. In this class, students will learn to forge one of the most common organic forms in blacksmithing: the leaf.
During this class, you’ll learn about tapering, isolating, spreading, shaping, and texturing steel, but at a small scale. This class focuses on forging pieces that are closer to jewelry size as compared to many traditional blacksmithing products. As a result, these small pieces present their own set of interesting challenges and specific processes.
This class is intended for seasoned beginners. Those with little or zero forging experience might struggle more and need to scale back their expectations. That said, you’ll learn a lot from the additional challenges.

Bowl Turning and Tool Forging for the Pole Lathe

8/31/26-9/4/26

Historic Eastfield Village, East Nassau NY

For a thousand years Europeans and Americans used simple foot-powered pole lathes to turn all sorts of wooden products, from bowls to chair legs. Pole lathe turning is a satisfying, portable, off-grid technique, but one of the big obstacles to getting into this craft is acquiring the necessary tools (which are unique to working on a reciprocating lathe). In this five-day course, students will learn both turning and blacksmithing skills, forge their own hook tools and then use those tools to turn one or more bowls. Topics will include coal fire use, basic and advanced forging techniques, steel selection, improvised forges, and tool hardening, “tip up” and “tip down” tool design, tool sharpening, wood selection, safe ax technique, various turning techniques, bowl design, and drying, painting, and oiling the finished bowls.

This course is appropriate for both first-time and more experienced pole lathe turners. By the end of the course, students should have the necessary knowledge and experience to make tools and turn bowls on their own.

While no previous experience in either craft is required, forging and bowl turning are physically challenging activities that require a certain amount of stamina and coordination.

Note: Folks taking classes at Historic Eastfield can stay in one of their historic taverns for free during their class! Last time I taught this, we all took turns getting dinner made on the hearth in the tavern kitchen, and ate together by candlelight each night.
