Try your hand at a traditional trade during a hands-on Historic Blacksmith Workshop at Discovery Harbour in Penetanguishene.
Participants ages 15 and up will work alongside an experienced blacksmith instructor to learn historic blacksmithing techniques in a small-group setting. The two-hour experience includes a safety briefing, protective equipment, hands-on instruction and the chance to create and finish your own metalwork project to take home.
