DCP to Offer
Blacksmithing Classes
Darke County Parks would like to invite anyone interested in learning
basic blacksmithing skills to join the beginners class on January 21st
from 1pm to 4pm. Students will learn about the different tools used in
the trade as well as the parts of the anvil. They will also learn about
the background of the blacksmith and his role in history. Those wishing
to advance in the blacksmith trade may continue to attend classes on
one Saturday a month. A $25 materials fee will be charged to cover the
cost of supplies for four classes. For insurance purposes, participants
must sign up as a volunteer before beginning the class. Space is
limited, but depending interest levels, other beginner classes may be
offered. For more information about the classes or to register, please
call the Nature Center at (937) 548-0165 or email
info@darkecountyparks.org
