Introducing: Arbalest Hub.

Ive spent the good part of 30 years teaching children how to be good humans. I like to think ive done a fair job of that. This year, I shift my focus from early childhood to older kids. Ill be passing on my skills as a maker of all things hot, sharp, and dangerous to a new generation of makers.Thats where the idea for Arbalest Hub comes in.

Arbalest Hub is offering workshops and classes in a variety of medieval themed projects. Two day coppersmith and blacksmith workshops, 10 week siege engine and armor-making classes, as well as a variety of project-based, hands-on skill-building experiences. Your maker will walk away with new skills, new knowledge, and the confidence to take on future creative endeavors.

Located at Alameda's Maker Farm, we meet at the working shop of Apestooth Crossbows, where historic medieval crossbows are crafted using authentic materials and techniques.
