Beginners Blacksmithing at Cherry Mountain Farm – Forge Your Own J-Hook

March 22, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

$25.00

Experience the art of a timeless craft and take home a piece to treasure for generations…

In collaboration with Cherry Mountain Farm and General Store:

This workshop—led by Night Owl Iron Works—offers the chance to learn basic forging techniques and create a lasting, functional product. Night Owl Iron Works, renowned for its focus on functionality and craftsmanship, has grown its artistry, fueled by a renewed interest in this historic craft.

Founder Jordon Jackson will personally guide you through the Forge Your Own J-Hook workshop, starting with a lesson on foundational forging techniques. Following the group instruction, each participant will have one-on-one time at the forge to craft their own piece. Sessions are divided into time slots, with each lasting 10 minutes and accommodating two participants at a time. By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a fully finished, usable J-hook, perfect for both indoor and outdoor use.

While waiting for your turn at the forge, feel free to explore Cherry Mountain Farm, visit the general store, or grab a bite from a local food truck!

On the same day, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, Night Owl will be offering a Forge Your Own Horseshoe Knife workshop, with 30-minute time slots available. To secure your spot, please click here.

About Night Owl Iron Works:
Established in 2016 by Jordon Jackson, who specializes in blacksmithing, and his wife Rachel Jackson, who focuses on leatherworking, Night Owl Iron Works uses traditional techniques to create high-quality, handmade products for both businesses and individuals. In June 2021, Jordon won the Forged in Fire Championship on The History Channel’s special episode, “Forge of Fear.”

After the workshop, take a stroll around Cherry Mountain Farm to meet the friendly Kune Kune pigs, goats, dogs, and horse that call the farm home. And don’t forget to stop by the general store, stocked with a variety of unique gifts and treasures.

Craig and Debbi, the dedicated farmers behind Cherry Mountain Farm, have put over a decade of love and care into creating this special place.
