My daughter and I cherish our matching Studebaker Metals cuffs and we were graced with the opportunity to forge another set of matching cuffs at Studebaker Metals new completely awesome forge in the Strip at Studebaker Metals - Hand Forged by You workshop. What an amazing day! We were greeted on arrival by the workshop cat-in-residence Peter and a staff member (so sorry I don’t remember your name but you were great too!!!)! We spent a relaxing and edifying morning into the afternoon hours slowly working our metals into beautiful creations under the friendly guidance and conversation with the owner and founder Michael. Would highly recommend to all interested. You will not be disappointed. Hoping that they offer another workshop in the future to return to the forge to perhaps craft another heirloom creation that will journey with us for time to come. BTW, my only the concern about the workshop experience was that it was such an enjoyable day at the forge, that I’d be arrested for forgery!!! 😂. All the best and thank you so much for the experience!!! - Rick and Cecilia.
