Tool Shed

Ferrumwood offers a variety of craft classes for individuals of all skill levels. Our classes cover traditional crafts such as blacksmithing, woodworking, leatherworking, needlework, calligraphy and stained glass. All work is done by hand; hands not machines. 

Our instructors lead hands-on sessions and demonstrations that allow you to learn, explore and create using traditional techniques and materials.
