blacksmithing lessons

In addition to running a full blacksmith and metalworking shop, I (Sam Perakis) volunteer my time with New England Blacksmiths teaching at The Gilbert Teaching Center in Brentwood, NH. Over several years, I have developed my skills as a teacher and have taught hundreds of students between the ages of 4 and 75 of all shapes and sizes. For the time being, your best bet for blacksmithing lessons is to join NEB and take lessons on the 2nd and last Saturday of each month between March and November at The Gilbert Teaching Center. However, the PIG School of Blacksmithing will be coming in the near future. For those interested, please reach out and let us know what you’d like to learn! We’d love to hear from those looking to get involved in the blacksmithing world.
