Click any image below to book now! Beginner workshops are open to any experience level. The intermediate workshops are much more challenging, and I recommend having some metal working experience before booking. I am also happy to schedule private workshops for larger groups. Call (504)-635-5805 or email olof@churchmouseforge.com with any questions. If you have a specific project in mind, please reach out and I will do my best to accommodate you.
There is a minimum age requirement of 14 years old, and for those under 18 a parent or guardian must also be taking the workshop or remain in the forge for the duration.
Bring a Few Friends and Save 30% - Each additional participant will take 10% off the cost of the workshop for the booking, all the way up to 30% off! No coupons or codes are needed: simply choose the right class size for your group and save.
Everything is Included - The workshop price includes parking, materials, fuel, personal protection equipment, and even refreshments to help keep you going strong at the anvil.
Visiting New Orleans? - Hop on the St. Charles Avenue Streetcar in the French Quarter and enjoy the sights of the city on your way to the shop. The forge is a 10 minute walk from the S. Carrollton at Oak stop, and while you are uptown you can visit some of the great restaurants, distilleries and breweries on Oak St. Are you flying home without a checked bag? Shipping is available for knives and anything else you make that would not be allowed in a carry-on.
Gift Certificates - Our hands-on workshop experiences make a great gift! Give someone special a unique opportunity to explore an artisanal craft with a practiced blacksmith. See below for gift certificate options.
Are you interested in taking a blacksmithing class? If you will be in the New Orleans area, please use the form below and I will let you know when and where you can try your hand at the anvil. I plan on offering a range of workshops for different skill levels and open forge time for qualified students.
