Skip the flowers this Valentine’s Day and make something that lasts. In this hands-on blacksmithing experience, you and your Valentine will work side by side at the forge, shaping hot steel into a beautiful set of forged steel hearts.

Over this two-part, 2-hour class series, you’ll learn the time-honored craft of blacksmithing—heating, tapering, splitting, twisting, and punching steel—while building both skill and confidence. With guidance from our instructor, you’ll experience the rhythm of the hammer, the heat of the forge, and the satisfaction of transforming raw steel into something meaningful.

Along the way, we’ll cover essential blacksmithing fundamentals including proper hammer technique, anvil use, body stance, forge etiquette and management, safety practices, and a bit of the history behind this centuries-old craft.

By the end of the series, you’ll leave with your finished forged hearts and blacksmithing certification, allowing you to return and use the DIYcave Forge on your own. It’s sparks, sweat, and shared accomplishment—basically the perfect Valentine’s Day date. 🔥❤️
