Hi Terran,
ReplyDeleteI discovered your web site from a student's suggestion that my blacksmith school should be included on your Florida page. My name is Rob and I'm the master blacksmith instructor for Wrought Iron Arts: 707 First Av. S.W. Largo Fl. 33770 and here's a link to our web site: https://wroughtironarts.wordpress.com/
Our mission statement for Wrought Iron Arts is to spread the "Lost Art of Blacksmithing" and I'd like to thank you for wanting to do the same thing it appears.

Hi Rob-
DeleteThanks for the information. I've added it under the "Tampa area" heading.
Spreading this "lost art" is definitely what we're here for. You're welcome!
Let me know if there's anything else I can help with.

Hey there, I was actually looking down the list, and there's a school called The Guild in Pompano Beach, an hour north of Miami. Their address is 205 NW 16th St, Pompano Beach, FL 33060. I hope this list keeps updated as hopefully more blacksmiths pop up in the area.
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous, Thank you for recommending us!! As the largest blacksmith school in Florida we are surprised that we still haven't made this list. (I see you commented 3 years ago ;)
