Joshua Meyer Art

Not only good instruction but I found i was already planning for my next class part way through the first. His passion and skill were infectious and I was able to make something that I was proud of! Highly reccomend!

Absolutely amazing experience. Josh goes above and beyond for his clients. Highly recommend!

I bought a "Flirting with Fire" package for mu (adult) daughter and my husband. When they came back they couldn't wipe the smiles off their faces for hours. Josh took time with them and listened to what they wanted to do and they came home with two great projects. Overall an incredible experience and a dream come true for them both. I am now recommending it to ALL of my friends. What a gem!

Flagstaff Forging is as real as it gets. Let me preface this by first stating, that I have never written a critique or felt the need to leave an opinion on a performance or anything for that matter.  That being said... My wife surprised me with a gem of a gift! I came to Josh's forge/studio with very little expectations and was greeted with a warm smile and welcoming attitude to the art of blacksmithing. Having 4 hrs to work with Josh, I wanted to make the most of our time together. Joshua guided me through the process of fabrication. Giving insight to the molecular changes taking place within the steel and the methods to best bring my concept to life from the raw steel. Staying a couple steps ahead, Josh visually mentored how to work the metal. Hammering side by side, jamming to tracks from Sublime, Green day, and Bob Marley, it was cathartic to bang away at glowing red steel.  Unlike any other class or trade course, Josh never took hold of my piece (only once to demonstrate how to safely handle pliers when manipulating the steel between anvil and forge). He gives full autonomy to the student, allowing them to manifest the best piece from the students imagination. I wanted to leave his forge with a functional piece. I did just that, along   with an experience I share with everyone I come across these days. Drop the hammer with Josh... if anything it will leave you with numb hands, buffed shoulders and a real appreciation for the artistry of metal work.  While for myself it left me with an indelible mark I will not forget. Till next time Josh, James Alba 🤙

I spent 4 hours at Josh's studio a couple of weeks ago to take the Blacksmithing course I was given as a birthday present. I had no experience with this craft but came out with a useful, beautiful (if I do say so myself!) tool. The time went by quickly as Josh taught me to heat, hammer, grind, sand etc. a piece I came up with partly on my own after looking at Josh's completed projects. If I'd had a couple more hours I could have made it perfect (!), but I think it's not bad for a first try. Josh was informative and encouraging during the process and made his own knife at the same time so he was able to show the process without doing my work for me!
