Blacksmithing is an ancient trade, but at MTC it is one of most recent creative arts additions. Campers learn the five fundamental techniques of forging and get to exercise their creativity in a very different medium – steel. The basic tools of hammer and anvil, fire and tongs along with safety equipment, good instruction and respect for the forge are all campers need to create a unique souvenir of their summer, and hopefully light a fire (pun intended!) on a lifelong interest.
