Welcome to the Institute
Student at work in the studio!
The Virginia Institute of Blacksmithing (VIB) was founded to offer short term, affordable classes, providing students experience in blacksmithing without the need for investment in space, materials and tools.
Existing craft schools require short-term residency on campus, requiring time away from work and home. VIB offers an alternative: weekend workshops to accommodate busy schedules.
VIB is located at:
