Book A Private Knife Making / Blacksmithing Lesson!

 

I have been knife making on a professional level for 9 years now. 4 of those years spent as the apprentice of The New England School of Metalwork. After my mentor left his position as Bladesmithing instructor, I was asked to step up to a full time shop assistant and instructor. I worked full time teaching classes and running the shop for 3 years. Now I am back working for myself full time. This allows me to work with YOUR schedule!

If you are interested in the craft and want to learn more from an experienced knife maker and instructor please fill in your contact info, and a description of what you’d like to accomplish under my instruction.

Flexible Schedule, with a capacity for 1-2 students at a time.

Student Recommendation

“Recently I had the opportunity and privilege to study bladesmithing under the tutelage of Isaiah Washington during some private lessons. Anyone interested in the art of forging custom knives or artistic forging should consider taking some private lessons with him. I highly recommend it for beginners and seasoned pros alike! His teaching style connects with students and he deeply cares about his students and the craft.”
