*IF YOUR PREFERRED CLASS IS FULL/UNAVAILABLE, PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE TO SEE IF WE CAN SNEAK YOU IN *WE CAN SHIP YOUR KNIFE IF YOU'RE UNABLE TO TRAVEL WITH IT In this 3 hour class, you'll begin with a horseshoe and end with your very own, handmade knife! Absolutely no prior experience is required and is suitable for ages 8+. No lifting required and little strength necessary, though hand-eye coordination always helps (READ DISCLAIMER AT BOTTOM PRIOR TO SCHEDULING). The curriculum is designed to flow seamlessly and be tons of fun: 1) You'll begin the class by putting on safety gear and reviewing safety procedures. 2) You'll use traditional blacksmithing equipment (forges, hammers, and anvils) to forge a knife from a horseshoe. 3) Each step will be demonstrated and guidance will be provided throughout the class. DISCLAIMER: Participants will be using hammers to move hot steel. This implies that your arm may become sore from hammering! Don't worry, we've never had a student fail to complete a project. If you have any disabilities that may prevent you from standing and hammering for long periods of time, please let me know prior to scheduling. Other things to note: Open-toed shoes are not allowed. Avoid synthetic pants & shirts (best to have cotton jeans & a cotton top).

I do gift certificates! ALSO, i can accommodate guests under 21, please send a direct message to line any of this up. :) *NOTE: Current COVID PHASE: for everyone's safety each individual keeps mask on and only momentarily pulls it down to take a sip or a bite. Look forward to a most unique, fun, engaging and enriching time up in the Greenfire Loft (@greenfireloft) inside Melrose Market. This Cocktail and/or Mocktail Lab Airbnb Experience happens on a limited basis. If you have a specific date in mind (and have 3 or more people interested in attending) please reach out to me and I'll see if I can make it happen. This experience has no dress code. As soon as you enter, you'll be handed a lab coat and safety glasses -- perfect as a pre-funk to your night out on the town. Also, feel free to just lounge around [with your drink in hand] in one of the wing-backed faux-leather chairs and enjoy the ambiance of being perched in a high-end market, above many award-winning businesses. The experience gets you started with a variety of recipes (aka. guidelines) of a traditional recipe. From there, you will be shown how to use different tools that most don't own at home and go mad (OBVIOUSLY) as you are encouraged to steer off the beaten path. Sample cups are provided so everyone in the group can taste and build off each other's experiments.

***24 HOUR EDITING!*** We'll jump into the vibrant and historic Pike Place Market. This is a MUST SEE area for visitors! We'll take pictures at the legendary "Public Market Center" sign, the first Starbucks EVER, the Gum Wall, and explore the market for more 'Instagram-able' hotspots! Want a sneak peek of what photos will look like? Follow me on social media at "Cameron Thomsen Photography". I will be snapping shots during our excursion to capture every moment of your fun-filled experience! If there are multiple people or families in the group, we will rotate in and out to make sure everyone gets pictures in each location! If you want a private shoot, you should be able to book on a PC/Mac. If not, message me and we can figure it out :) At the end, you'll end up with around 25-30 edited* pictures(per person) sent digitally. These pictures will be full resolution. You will NEED an email address to receive the pictures! I take the pictures and my wife edits them. *(Unedited/RAW will not be sent) ***Up to 10 people can book per hour so don't be shy, you may be meeting some new friends!*** Other things to note Bring a jacket and sunscreen. You may need both as Seattle's weather can change drastically. We will shoot regardless of weather. Up to 10 people can book per hour, so be ready to make some friends!

We will take you on a culinary tasting adventure of Pike Place Market. We will be stopping at 10 different artisanal vendors; learning about local production and tasting your way through the flavors of the Northwest. Learn where local chefs shop, where coffee aficionados get their cup of Joe and more! Other things to note The tour takes place rain or shine. Please email if you have dietary restrictions. We do book private tours for 8-15 people. Please direct message us to learn more.

Visitors to the sanctuary get to meet all of the animals. We take a walk through their habitats and talk about where they came from, what hardships they have faced and how they have overcome them. Some of the animals get snacks during the tour, other animals prefer to get pets instead, while others might prefer a different activity. During the tour we meet and interact with pigs, chickens, ducks, turkeys, special needs animals and sometimes the sanctuary dogs. The sanctuary is home to 16 pigs of all sizes. You will meet big 600lbs pigs, little 100lbs pigs, naked pigs, pigs who love belly rubs and more. We also visit the rescued hens and turkeys who love to flock around your feet and ask for their favorite treats. Other things to note Wear appropriate shoes and clothing. Boots or waterproof shoes are recommended. During the summer sneakers are good too. Please do not wear high heels or clothes you would hate to get dirty.
