Our Bladesmithing Program

        As with all evolution, the growth and now birth of a separate Bladesmithing Program at the New England School of Metalwork has brought yet another endless source of inspiration and energy to the school. Bladesmithing is an integral part of the blacksmiths trade, as such our workshop offerings through the years have snowballed into a following and resurgence of the highest level of our craft. We will be continuing to offer more and interesting workshops in this field as well as related topics such as handles, guards, fittings, castings, engraving, Wootz, Pattern welded steel development and others. We are confident that this program will continue to evolve with your help and support. Further development of the tooling and equipment has already begun, a donation of a hydraulic forging press, additional belt grinders, and custom made heat treating equipment are just a few of the new acquisitions.
