Join us for our first ever Adirondack Folk School Forge Fest Blacksmithing Competition! Contestants will showcase their traditional blacksmithing skills in one of three divisions (novice, intermediate or professional) for cash prizes. There will be two heats separated by division, with an Open Contest to end the day; each division will have assigned projects for the session which must be completed during the time allowed. Contest rules and parameters are available upon request, and will also be sent to contestants upon registration. Competitors must provide their own tools, including forges and anvils. Forging stations will be available to Novices for rent at a small fee (please request one upon registration). Stock materials and coal will be provided.

Special Notes: Please indicate with your registration your preferred shirt size and whether you are a novice (new to blacksmithing with 2 years or less experience), intermediate (serious hobby blacksmith with 2-7 years of experience) or a professional (7+ years experience or working as a full time blacksmith, bladesmith or farrier).
