About this event

Forging Strength is a free hands-on blacksmithing program for veterans focused on creativity, stress relief, confidence building, and peer connection through the art of forging. Participants receive step-by-step instruction in a supportive environment while learning traditional blacksmithing techniques and creating forged projects. The program uses creative expression to support the mental health and well-being of military members and veterans.

This free monthly veteran-focused blacksmithing experience is designed to provide a creative outlet that encourages stress relief, connection, and confidence through hands-on forging. No experience is necessary. Space is limited, and participants are encouraged to arrive early. All materials and instruction are provided through the True Top 1% Foundation’s Arts4Vets Program.
