Dragonfly Forge’s swordsmithing school, Tomboyama Nihonto Tanren Dojo, is proud to announce it’s schedule of classes for 2012, taught by Michael Bell, swordsmith in the Japanese tradition with over 40 years of experience in the sword arts.
Student’s may reserve a place in the class of their choice online through our school website, tomboyama.com with deposit payment via PayPal. The deposit is refundable up to 60 days before the scheduled session. Space in our classes is limited, and reservations are made on a ‘first come, first serve’ basis.
We are eagerly awaiting another enjoyable year of sword-making classes.
How much is the tuition and deposit to sign up for your basic class and are there any prerequisites?
Thank you for your interest in our school and swordsmithing classes.
Our five-day Basic Forging Course costs a total of $1,350, with a deposit of $350 required to reserve one’s space in a session.
There are no prerequisites for the Basic Forging Course. It has been our experience that those without any experience blacksmithing or bladesmithing generally perform at least as well as those with prior experience.
