ButterHog Forge

At ButterHog Forge, we're not just a workshop—we're an experience. Located in Kalamazoo, MI, our forge is a welcoming space where you can step into the timeless art of blacksmithing while enjoying a modern, personalized approach. Whether you're crafting your first S-hook or creating a stunning Damascus chef knife, every class is designed to be hands-on, accessible, and rewarding. Unlike other workshops, we offer small, intimate sessions 6 days a week to fit any schedule. Our focus is on blending traditional forging techniques with a relaxed and supportive atmosphere, ensuring every participant walks away with new skills, confidence, and a tangible creation they can be proud of.
