Looking for unique things to do with kids in the Lockyer Valley? This kids-only flint striker workshop is the perfect non-knife introduction to blacksmithing.
In this beginner-friendly class, kids will work with real fire, real steel and traditional forging techniques to create their very own flint striker! A small handmade tool used with a flint (or ferro rod) to create sparks and start a fire the old-fashioned way.
With step-by-step guidance from the NGKnives team, children will learn how heat changes metal, how force shapes steel, and how simple tools can be made by hand. It’s a fun, practical and STEM-based activity suited to curious kids, homeschoolers, scouts and anyone keen to try something different.
All tools, materials and safety equipment are provided. Each child will take home their handmade flint striker, a complimentary ferro rod, and receive safe instruction on how to use it correctly. Complimentary laser engraving is also included to personalise their finished piece.
No experience needed - just enclosed shoes and a willingness to give it a go.
Please note: This is a kids-only class, however parents or guardians must remain onsite for children 16 and under.

Welcome to our forge; a hands-on creative space where tradition, craftsmanship, and community come together.
With nearly a decade of experience, Nick is the master craftsman behind our bespoke knife-making and blacksmithing classes. Known for his attention to detail and deep respect for the craft, Nick guides students through the age-old process of forging steel, helping them create functional, beautiful pieces they can be proud of.
Our classes are immersive, supportive, and designed for all experience levels - whether you’re forging your very first blade or simply looking to step away from the noise of everyday life and work with your hands. We believe blacksmithing is more than just a skill; it’s a chance to slow down, focus, and reconnect with creativity.
We proudly offer NDIS-friendly classes, providing a welcoming environment that supports creativity, confidence, and connection. Our sessions can help participants feel empowered and independent, increase social participation, and build practical, hands-on skills in a safe and inclusive setting.
Step into the forge, take up the hammer, and experience the satisfaction of creating something lasting.
