Entry No. 10 — the Portland file — filed under: blacksmithing

Past Lives Makerspace — "Forge a Date!"

Inside a 26,000-square-foot warehouse crammed with pottery wheels, glass lathes, and metal presses, one class is built entirely for two: "Forge a Date!," a single-session blacksmithing crash course engineered so a couple hammers out a project at the anvil side by side.

The move: Sign up together for "Forge a Date!" — a couples-only crash course in blacksmithing where you leave having actually made something, no prior skill required.
