• Make your own fidget:
A beginner Blacksmithing workshop for people who are Neurodivergent
Do you identify as neurodivergent and are interested in making your own fidget? Or consider yourself an ally? This workshop is for you!
Choosing from three different options, at the end of this two-hour workshop you will leave with a unique fidget of your own creation. This experience is tailored for those who have little to no experience with working with steel and fire.
The workshop will provide an introduction to some basic blacksmithing practices including safety precautions, tools, and a hands-on practical experience in moving metal.
