About Fraser River Forge
Co-founder and Journeyman Blacksmith Josh did a full apprenticeship under Roy, a now retired German Master Blacksmith of 45 years experience, while they built the forge together. That makes these guys the real deal when it comes to the age-old craft of metal-bending magic.

Specializing in the traditional craft means they have a lot of knowledge to share. And, they do so in their collection of blacksmith classes that offer a hands-on experience to their students.
No blacksmithing experience? No problem! You can step up to the anvil during one of their curated courses or grab your squad for a private group class. Plus, their classes are friendly to any level of experience. All you need to bring is a pair of steel toe boots, a cotton outfit, earplugs, and most importantly, a good attitude. Leave the rest to Fraser River Forge—because they’ll be bringing the heat (literally)!
Plus, their private classes offer a creative way, and a unique way to celebrate a bachelor or bachelorette party, a birthday or even a team-bonding activity with co-workers! Oh and did we mention you get to take home what you make?
Take home your own hand-forged goods
Appreciate the craft, but want to leave it to the pros? Fraser River Forge isn’t just about forging memories with friends. They also sell a variety of hand-forged goods! Think beautifully crafted utensils, cutting boards with iron handles, chopsticks, fire rakes and more.
Feeling adventurous? After you complete one of their group classes, you’ll have made one of these household items for yourself!
