Blacksmithing at Redland Museum

05/10 @ 8:30 am - 12:00 pm

The blacksmith’s shop is a 1870s split slab hut originally from Mt Cotton. For many years it was the home of brothers Bob and Herman Holzapfel. In 1972, it was dismantled and rebuilt at the Redland Museum and is still in use every weekend.

Every Saturday morning, the Museum blacksmiths light the forges and demonstrate the ancient craft at the anvils, using old world methods and tools made in the 19th century.

Come and watch the fires heat the metal, and the glowing iron being transformed into intricate and beautiful items such as poppies and planters, or useful household items such as side tables.
