For eons, the spear has stood among mankind’s most enduring and influential tools — a weapon
of war, an instrument of survival, and a symbol of craftsmanship that shaped the course of human history. From the hunting grounds of early civilizations to the battlefields of great kingdoms, the spear has remained a testament to ingenuity, skill, and purpose.
In this immersive hands-on class, students will be guided through the complete process of designing, forging, and crafting their own spear from raw materials to finished weapon. Beginning at the forge, students will learn the traditional methods used to shape and refine a steel spearhead through heat, hammer, and anvil. Instruction will then continue through fitting, finishing, and mounting the forged head onto a properly crafted wooden shaft, bringing together
both metalworking and woodworking techniques into one unified project. More than simply building a weapon, this course explores the historical significance, functional design, and artistry behind one of humanity’s oldest and most effective tools. Students will gain
practical forging experience, an understanding of traditional craftsmanship, and the satisfaction of creating a fully realized piece by hand — a work that reflects both ancient tradition and personal skill.
