WORKING WITH OUR HANDS

Metalwork   |  Blacksmithing  |  Leather Work

With guidance from local artists and metalsmiths, students forge knives from railroad spikes. After the creation of the knife, leather sheaths are made to complete each project.

Warriors will have hands-on therapy, supporting them with mental wellness through the process of creating something out of nothing. This helps build self-esteem, reduce anxiety and strengthen coping mechanisms.
