The Guild - Urban Craft & Folk Art School — Local services in Pompano Beach

It was a wonderful experience and I will take more classes. The owners are very kind and attentive and they know their crafts. I felt that the course fee was an exceptional value for the quality of the instruction, the resources that were provided and the amount of time and attention the instructor dedicated to making sure I understood the lessons and was comfortable with what I was doing. This is not a sit, watch and listen craft and art school - this is hand's on. You get to create what you came to learn.

My wife and I took the intro to blacksmithing course at the guild about a year ago and had such a great time that we enrolled in the 2 day intro to knife making course this winter. Over the course of 2 days we transformed a bar of 1095 steel into a chef's knife and a bush knife. We left with homework and are still working on final sanding and handle fit up. We'll be headed back to the guild in a few days to shape the handles and put an edge on our knives. The whole experience was a blast. Shaun and Mike are professionals and very novice freindly. They were there each step of the way to guide and encourage and make sure we didn't screw up too badly. Best part...I got to use a power hammer! Great fun. Very educational. I highly...
