Class Description:  This event is open to all guild members.  There is no lesson or agenda except to get some iron hot and hit it with a hammer and hang out with fellow blacksmiths.  There are signups, and that guarantees you a forge space.  If you just want to stop by and hang out, you are welcome to do so.  If there’s space at a forge, you can pay the fee and have at it.  The fee just covers the facility, coal, and insurance.
