Metalsmithing Studio

     The New England School of Metalwork offers a unique  metalsmithing program found nowhere else. A professional combination of both traditional and contemporary tooling, techniques and instruction. No where else will you find the attention to the important details. The studios are designed, run and maintained by professional blacksmiths. The diverse array of instructors from around the country provide students with many options and many disciplines of metalworking. We operate year round and have various programs in Blacksmithing, Bladesmithing and Casting. We offer a Summer and Winter Session of workshops and occasional evening class as well as featured demonstrations and symposiums. We also offer full private tutorial time, custom private workshops as well as full access studio rental by the hour. All of these amazing opportunities will allow your innermost creativity to flow like never before. 

        Since the New England School of Metalwork is solely dedicated to metalworking there is plenty of it. We do not charge lab fees, material fees or fuel cost. Our belief is that as a student practicing a trade should not be concerned about the cost of practice material. Students here find themselves in a stress free atmosphere of practicing a trade and learning the art of metal smithing.  The New England School of Metalwork also occasionally offers blacksmithing equipment for sale, both new and old. See our Items for Sale page for more details.

Welding Lab

       Our welding lab is fully equipped for classes of six students.  We firmly believe that the student/Instructor ratio must be kept low in order for proper instruction to occur. In doing so you get 100% attention to your needs. The school uses only the latest in technology for FCAW, GMAW, GTAW, SMAW and Plasma cutting and is updated bi-annually with the newest equipment available.  Several processes in each field are possible, with ample room and the safest working conditions.  These factors give anyone an advantage in staying current with the onward moving demands of industry.  Whether it's aluminum, stainless or carbon steel; pipe or structural plate and in whatever process is needed, our welding lab will provide you the finest training.

       Aside from our standard daytime and evening classes, the New England School of Metalwork prides itself on offering many of the companies in New England the very flexible opportunity of customized training. For companies who are entering a new field of welding for a particular job or for certifying their employees in any number of codes, we can help. AWS, ASME, ABS or API, we can develop and schedule training for you. With our convenient  Auburn, Maine location as well as our new Mobile Weld Training Center, available for extended training periods at your location we can satisfy your weld training needs.

Mission Statement
     The New England School of Metalwork is a 501 C3 nonprofit educational facility dedicated to creating the most comfortable and motivating atmosphere possible for students to absorb knowledge in order to obtain mastery of their craft. We strive to expose students to the widest variety of processes through a diverse selection of instructors. We pride ourselves in offering students and instructors the broadest range of tooling and equipment possible. We feel that the more craftsmen are educated in their field, the more efficiently and safely they can work. This raises the level of productivity as well as the quality of the work, thus offering the public a better service with a higher profitability to the craftsman.
