Beginners Blacksmithing at Cherry Mountain Farm – Forge Your Own Horseshoe Knife

This workshop—led by Night Owl Iron Works—offers the chance to learn basic forging techniques and create a lasting, functional product. Night Owl Iron Works, renowned for its focus on functionality and craftsmanship, has grown its artistry, fueled by a renewed interest in this historic craft.

Jordon Jackson, founder of Night Owl Iron Works, will lead you through the Forge Your Own Horseshoe Knife workshop. The experience begins with an introduction to basic forging techniques, followed by personalized one-on-one time at the forge, where you’ll craft your unique piece. Each 30-minute session accommodates two participants at a time, and by the end of the workshop, you’ll take home a fully finished and functional horseshoe knife.

While waiting for your turn at the forge, feel free to explore Cherry Mountain Farm, visit the general store, or grab a bite from a local food truck!
