Join Cornell Alumni on Thanksgiving Saturday at noon for a 3-hour blacksmithing workshop at Lawless Forge in Sterling, VA.

Expect this event to fill up fast!

• Date: Sat Nov 29, 2025 (tentative)
• Time: 12:00 PM (sharp!)  till 3:00 PM 
• $90 fee covers all materials and you'll take home the BBQ fork you make out of raw steel.
• Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of class: Class begins promptly at noon. Late arrivals will need to reschedule and pay the rescheduling fee.

What to Expect:

• Starting with raw steel, each person will use fire, hammer, and anvil to forge a wrought iron custom piece to take home
• "It's gonna be empowering. It's gonna be dirty. It's gonna be totally new. Don’t worry, it's nothing you can't handle." 
• No experience required, just a bit of strength for pounding and twisting the steel; hand-eye coordination always helps
