We meet every 3rd Saturday at the MS Ag Museum - open to the public. We do offer blacksmithing classes & those posted here when available! The Mississippi Forge Council
is the Mississippi Organization of Blacksmiths. We are a non-profit, for education, organization dedicated to preserving and teaching traditional blacksmithing techniques as applied to decorative ironwork. Although our focus is pri

marily ironwork our interests include metal work of all kinds. We have members skilled in working with copper, brass, stainless steel, Damascus steel, mokume, repousse’, chasing, scrimshaw, and patina applications. We make tools, knives, colonial ironwork, fountains, sculptures, jewelry, you name it. As our members are interested we bring in the best teachers we can find and we pass this along to others that are interested. Join us as we preserve our history and our future.

Our Next Green Coal Class is scheduled for TBD. In this class we will teach you an introduction of using a coal forge, hammer control and demonstrate how to taper, scroll, and forge weld. These techniques will be used to make a fire poker that you will be able to take home.

Joe Foreman (aka Slo Mo Panda) is going to be demoing this May. What would y’all like to see him demonstrate?
