    • For safety reasons we cannot accept students under 13 years of age.

    • If a student is under 18 years of age a guardian must be present for the entirety of the class. Although not required, we encourage the guardian to take the class with the student.

  • Class purchases are Non-refundable for any cash amount.

    If you should need to re-schedule your class due to illness or emergency, you will need to communicate with Derick Kemper via phone call (any time of day or night) at 410-937-4244 in order for us to be able to re-schedule your class for you. Please leave a voicemail if he is unable to pick up at the time.
    We are unable to re-schedule your class for you if you text or email to initiate this request.

    If you do not show up for your class without communication via phone call, your purchase of the class will not be refunded or re-scheduled. If you would like to book another class with us you will need to re-purchase, and we will be happy to have you.

    Damselfly Forge Inc. reserves the right to cancel a class at any time, if this should occur, we will make every attempt to re-schedule with each student. If you are unable to re-schedule with us, we will issue a full refund of your class purchase price.

  • Safety glasses
    Ear plugs
    Water
    Restroom

    … plus all the tools, forges, anvils and workspaces, of course!

  • Your own safety glasses and ear plugs if you wish. We will provide these, but we know some people like to bring their own.

    Wear closed toe shoes.
    Wear natural fiber clothing.

    Bring your own lunch if taking an all-day class. We ask that you please plan ahead for this. With there only being an hour for lunch during the class it makes it difficult to ensure everyone can leave and order food in that time frame and have enough time to properly eat. We ask that there not be any disruptions to the class by stepping out to call and order food ahead of time.

    Our only suggestion for local food prior to the start time of the class is the local grocery store, Saubels in Whiteford, MD which opens at 8am and would give you enough time to gather your necessities.

    For emergency food necessities there is the local grocery store (mentioned above) within 5 minutes of the shop.

  • All that forging can drive your thirst. Our favorite brewery is South County Brewing Co. located in Fawn Grove, PA, 7 minutes form the shop.
    They sometimes have food trucks on the weekends, too. Check their current offerings on Instagram: @southcountyfawngrove
    The taproom itself offers water as the only non-alcoholic beverage at the moment.

    There is another local brewery called Slate Farm Brewery located in Whiteford, MD, 5 minutes from the shop. They have a full-service kitchen and it's a great stop for a burger.

    Buon Gusto Pizzeria & Grill located in Whiteford, MD is a good, locally owned Italian pizza place, order at the counter and have a seat. Also, within 5 minutes from the shop.
