Blacksmithing At Ball's Falls

You have seen it on television but have you ever seen it in real life? I am talking about Blacksmithing! For those of you unfamiliar with this it is the practice of making objects out of metal by heating it to a high degree. The metal is put into a superheated fire until it glows red hot. Then is taken out and pounded into new shapes and once cooled a new object is formed! At Ball’s Falls there are traditional, fully functioning Blacksmith workshops. Many Sundays from spring to fall you can hear the hammering of metal at these workshops. You can make something to take home from beginner workshops to Intermediate and Advanced workshops for participants over 18. It is an all day event 9 am until 4pm. Lunch is included as well as all materials for the cost of $100 a person. Workshops are limited to 4 participants to ensure hand-on experiences and quality instruction. The workshops run throughout the summer into the early fall. It is a wonderful experience and a perfect gift for that person who has everything! Just call 905-562-5235 ext. 26 to book or for further information.
