Blacksmiths at Mont De Lancey
The Mont De Lancey Blacksmithing Group comprises over 50 enthusiasts who meet every weekend at the authentic Mont De Lancey Blacksmith Shop.
Our aim is to keep the blacksmithing craft alive by demonstrating and sharing the knowledge and skills of forging with hammer and anvil.
The highlight of our year is the annual Australian Blacksmith Convention. The event sees blacksmiths from all over Australia come to Mont De Lancey to display their unique skills and tools for all to enjoy.
We also run four-week-courses every term for those interested in learning to blacksmith and weld. No experience is necessary, and all tools and equipment are supplied. So come along, meet us and join in.
More information is available at the Mont De Lancey Blacksmithing Group web site.
