Q&A
A: Yes, you need to be at least 16 years old to participate in the workshop. If you’re looking to bring a younger teen, you might want to check with the studio if they allow exceptions or if they have any special family sessions.
A: It's best to wear long sleeves and durable pants to protect yourself from any sparks or heat. Closed-toed shoes are a must, too. They provide all the safety gear, but being comfortable is key since you'll be moving around a lot.
A: Yes, you can usually reschedule your workshop. Just give them a heads up at least 48 hours in advance. They’re pretty flexible, but it’s a good idea to check their cancellation policy just to be safe.

Thinking about gifting the 'Forge a Survival Knife' experience!
I’m considering this for my boyfriend’s birthday. He loves camping and knives, so this seems perfect! I’ve heard the workshop in Gowanus is beginner-friendly, which is great since he’s never done any knifemaking before. Just wondering if anyone’s done it before and if it’s worth the price? Also, how long does it usually take to make the knife?
Just booked the knife forging workshop at Craftsman Ave!
I’m so excited! I booked it for next weekend. I’m a bit nervous as I’ve never done anything like this before. I heard they provide all tools and safety gear, so that makes me feel better. Any tips for a first-timer?
