Boyanup Foundation Blacksmiths

Craft

Watching the blacksmith at work is like stepping back into a different era. The flames flare and the blacksmith heats the iron, then moves to the anvil to hammer it into shape.

A number of instructors teach the program, ensuring that this traditional skill is not lost.
