At the Craft Center Forge: Halloween Forged Skull on Friday

The Brookfield Craft Center Forge, 290 Whisconier Road, hosts Halloween Forged Skull on Friday, October 30, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. — a full day at the forge with a seasonal project at its center.

The session is the Craft Center's Halloween offering for makers: a chance to spend a day working hot metal at the forge, in a workshop setting where instructors guide the process from start to finish. It runs the same day as the final night of New Milford's Scarrybrooke Haunted Trail, making Friday a full Halloween day for anyone who wants a daytime workshop before an evening out.

The forge session also opens a busy November at the Craft Center. Sunday, November 1, brings Introduction to Glass Beads — Lampwork from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Glass Studio, 273 Whisconier Road. Tuesday, November 10, offers a Raku Firing Workshop from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Clay Studio, 290 Whisconier Road. Saturday, November 14, closes the stretch with two workshops: Lampwork Glassblowing — Hollow-Form Ornaments from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Glass Studio, and Block Print Your Holiday Cards from 2 to 6 p.m. at the River Room, 286 Whisconier Road.

The Craft Center's campus sits along Whisconier Road, with studios spread across several buildings — worth checking the address for each workshop before heading over, since the forge, glass, clay, and river rooms each have their own number.
