Brainchild of master bladesmith and blacksmith Chad Osborne, Forge a Memory is a unique blacksmithing shop where visitors can seize the opportunity to create their own hand-forged work of art. Visitors need to book their blacksmithing experience well in advance of their visit to avoid disappointment. On arrival you can select one of 4 different size knives to forge under the expert guidance of Chad himself. You will need to heat the iron, forge it, sand it and buff it. After this, your knife will be sharpened and polished for you to take home. Aspiring blacksmiths who would like to delve deeper into the craft can register for Chad’s Private Winter Classes.
