🔥 Forge Like a Viking: Medieval Cross

Step up to the forge during Midgard at the Mill and make something to take home! In this one-hour, hands-on blacksmithing class, each student will forge their own split medieval-style cross from steel, shaping the arms, splitting the center, and finishing it by hand.

With only four students per session, everyone gets plenty of time at the anvil. No experience is needed.
