Forging nails the traditional way is a fascinating journey into the past, where blacksmiths were the heart of every village. This class will include hands-on experience with the forge, anvil, and hammer, teaching students the art of heating, bending, and shaping metal to create nails just as it was done centuries ago. It's a skill that hones patience and precision, offering a unique blend of history and practicality, where every strike of the hammer links us to the blacksmiths of old. This class will not only preserve these time-honored techniques but also instill a sense of accomplishment in creating something truly by hand.
Here at True Serendipity Homestead, we have decided to put the 50 plus years of life experience to good use by making available, our art and skills, by teaching others what we have learned. Michael offers workshops on homesteading and blacksmithing while Cheryl offers art classes.
True Serendipity Homestead,
Great people & experience. Mike & Cheryl have a great spot that they are so kind to share with us, their serendipitous story about how they came to be here in Maine is an excellent one - thank you for being a great example for how to create your own journey!
The highlight of our trip to Maine! We truly happened upon this place - we were up a creek realizing too late that all the other campsites in Acadia were closed for the season. As the name suggests, our time at True Serendipity made our entire trip - it was serendipity at its finest. Mike and Cheryl were lovely, kind hosts - and have thought of all the details. My son and I enjoyed a canoe paddle in the early light on the peaceful pond; a campfire under the stars (with wood thoughtfully left out for us); and most of all a blacksmithing workshop with Mike, who is a fabulous teacher and gave us both an unforgettable experience. I can't recommend enough that you make this a part of your trip - it was a highlight of our time in Maine.
