Craft classes kick off at Green Energy Park

Classes in glassblowing, metalsmithing, blacksmithing, chainmaille and knife-making are being offered this spring at the Jackson County Green Energy Park for every skill level.

Courses offer the opportunity to learn a variety of hands-on crafting skills like paperweight-making and glass blowing, as well as the ancient arts of blacksmithing, chainmaille and knife crafting.

There are also classes geared towards the family, including a parent-child blacksmithing workshop and glass tile instruction that’s good for all ages

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
