Blacksmith Workshop
Starting November 7th
Morning session, Afternoon session
Step into the forge and experience the timeless art of blacksmithing in this hands-on, three-part workshop series. Designed for beginners and enthusiasts alike, the program introduces participants to the seven fundamental techniques of the trade—drawing out, upsetting, cutting/slitting, bending, twisting, punching, and forge welding—through practical, take-home projects. Students will explore both the historical and modern sides of blacksmithing, working with our historic coal forge as well as experimenting with a propane forge.
In Search of Lost Hops
December 2nd
@ Point Brewery from 6:30-7:30 PM
In this historical presentation, Jennifer Jordan will take us back to a brief but pivotal moment when Wisconsin was a top producer of hops. Those hops are not the only ghosts in Jordan’s story; haunting her book’s pages are the young women whose harvest work was key to the American beer industry’s rise.
Due to the subject matter, this will be a 21+ presentation and will include a free drink of your choice.
