Eligibility

Our classes are open to all genders and ages from 13 on up. All we ask is that you have a desire to learn.

Please know that the shop gets hot, there may be a wisp of smoke in the air from time to time, a blister and achy muscles are expected but you will be successful when attending a class at Arrowhead Forge.

We do require 13 through 15 year olds to have a responsible party deliver and pick them up from class each day and 13 to 17 year olds have a responsible party staying in town with them.

We provide a hearty lunch each day (please let us know of any special dietary needs ahead of time). Students are responsible for additional meals and housing during their stay.
