A few things to know for your blacksmithing class:

1. 1. It is required that you wear safety shoes or boots and old natural fiber clothing and a pair of leather gloves to class. We have safety glasses for all students.
   2. We have a kitchen with a small fridge, a microwave and kettle and we encourage students in the class to bring their lunch so they can maximize their time working on the forge in the shop.
   3. The Waldie Blacksmith Shop is located at 16 James Street, just north of Main Street East in downtown Milton, right next to St. Paul’s United Church. There is a municipal parking lot just west of St. Paul’s church and another on the south side of Main.
