Rock the Forge
Custom Blacksmith & Silversmith — Curated Experiences — No Two Pieces Alike.
We make cool stuff.
We help you make cool stuff.
A real working 100 year old forge on Fjäderholmarna — the closest island in the Stockholm archipelago. You show up, pick up the tools, and leave with something made by your own hands.
Coal forge, proper anvil, real heat. The blisters are optional but the satisfaction is guaranteed.
We guide. You hammer. Your hands on the metal, start to finish. Individual or group — we tailor every session.
Forge a hook, a knife, a ring. Or sit at the silver bench and make jewellery that'll outlast the trip.
Fjäderholmarna. Twenty minutes from Stockholm by boat. Hard to explain, easy to love. Open May–September.
Our Experiences.
The Canadian Viking
and The Door.
It started with a picture of a door. Michael's wife showed it to him — he asked "what is it?" She sent the sales sheet. Six weeks later, they owned The Forge at Fjäderholmarna.
Michael Prentice — the Canadian Viking — is a blacksmith and silversmith who discovered the magic of the maker space later in life. A family of creatives who walked through that door and never looked back.
Now we make rings. We make knives. We make hooks and cheese boards and oyster shuckers. We teach. We host groups. And when someone walks in looking a little nervous, we say hej hej and let the forge do the rest.
What people say
after their hands cool down.
"What an experience. Love it. I came in nervous — I left wearing a ring I made myself. Truly unforgettable."
"We brought the whole team. Software engineers who'd never held a hammer. By hour two, nobody was checking their phones."
"Great products, great people. Michael is a brilliant teacher — passionate about craft and generous with his time. Worth every krona."
