Blacksmithing Courses
The blacksmithing courses held at Gränsfors Bruk focus on different forging techniques and vary in difficulty and number of days. The courses run from April – October.
The focus of the 2-day courses is axe forging. We also hold 5-day basic courses and a Tools of the Blacksmith course, for those who want to deepen their knowledge.
Logbuilding Courses
The timber framing course at Gränsfors Bruk provides a hands-on introduction to traditional post-and-beam construction, from raw logs to finished structure, using classic tools and methods. Led by an experienced craftsman, the course is held outdoors under cover and includes accommodation, meals, materials, course literature, a guided forge tour, sauna access, and a factory shop discount.
