Course fees vary depending upon the duration of the course and travel time. A capped rate exists for 501(c)(3) organizations.
Specialist tooling is provided when the course is within 10 driving hours of Springville or by arrangement. Otherwise tools will be manufactured on site prior to or during the course.

It is probably a little early to book for this class, but if the idea of spending 8 weeks in a well equipped forge environment, with 24 x 7 studio access, in the hills of North Carolina appeals to you.... Contact Penland and ask to have your name put on their mailing list for information about their classes.
