Adam's Forge

Our mission at Adam’s Forge is to provide a safe, inclusive, diverse, accessible and thriving community where people of all ages and backgrounds can share in the traditions, knowledge, and artistry of blacksmithing, metal arts and other creative handcrafts across generations and into the future.

The magic of iron is in everyone’s blood.

Adam’s Forge provides hands on classes in artistic blacksmithing, related metal arts and creative handcrafts. We offer space, tools and expertise to aspiring artists. We provide demonstrations and speakers for public events and meetings. We support a vibrant artistic blacksmithing community with outreach to our surrounding Southern and Central California community.

Founded in honor of metal artist Adam Leventhal, our blacksmithing and multimedia art studio in Simi Valley connects our past while forging our future.  We offer classes to complete beginners and those looking to build advanced skills. In our supportive environment, students learn time-honored techniques while discovering their own creative path.

As Southern California’s premier center for metalworking education, we are uniquely positioned to bridge traditional craftsmanship with contemporary artistic innovation — creating opportunities that are notably limited in the SoCal arts landscape. We currently offer over 240 classes in bladesmithing, blacksmithing, metalsmithing, metalworking, bronze casting, copper working and jewelry making.
