Introducing Anvil House
Hey there! This is Leslie Tharp and Jordan Borstelmann touching base. We wanted to reach out to all our past students to wish you all Happy Holidays and thank you sincerely for making 2015 one of the most enjoyable years we've had.
We've really had a blast offering blacksmithing workshops these past years and are excited to announce the opening of a blacksmithing school here in Gainesville called Anvil House!
Anvil House will offer the same one day, project based, workshop we've offered in the past, but we will be adding topics that cater to students with a long term interest in the craft of blacksmithing, and moving to offer two day and eventually week long workshops. We also plan to open a shared metal shop where students can have access to self-directed time by the forge for a monthly membership fee.
Stay tuned as we make steps towards these exciting goals in 2016!
