Take A Tour of Five Points Blacksmith Shop

Welcome to Five Points Blacksmith Shop

Traditional blacksmithing and Modern Equipment are used here at the smithy.

I have hosted several workshops and field
trips here at the shop.

I also offer classes in beginning blacksmithing.

Please contact me if
you are interested in taking a class. 



Lorelei has demonstrated at blacksmithing conferences throughout North America.

Demonstrating is very enjoyable
because it allows for a greater
appreciation of the craft. When
spectators are able to watch
a piece of metal being transformed
 they can feel the heat, hear the
pounding, and experience the magic.




Believe it or not, this is actually an organized space.
It's scary how much I have accumulated in thirteen years of business.
