Taking Andreas’s bladesmithing course has been an absolute dream come true. I’ve fantasized about putting this dream into motion for far too long and with the help of Andreas Kalani, I was finally able to make it a reality!

I came into this with very little knowledge/experience but Andreas was extremely patient and easy to talk to. I immediately felt comfortable walking into his shop. His mastery as both a craftsman and an instructor is evident when he’s teaching. I fed off his passion and it kept me pumped for the entire two days!

Having had the opportunity to work with such an artist has been a priceless experience. Our finished piece has quickly become the favorite of my collection. I plan on eventually taking on the entire curriculum.  I can’t wait to come back!
