Summer Session Classes 

 

 

This is a big year, our 10th year anniversary of the Summer Session of guest metalsmiths. I have worked hard to produce an exciting session of workshops and instructors. This summers highlight, and to highlight our first 10 years, falls in August, a special Master Smith Series of workshops will fill the entire month. The series in August comes with some special pricing as well on multiple class enrollment and dorming, all these details are on our website under ;August. This special series is to spawn some further challenge to those of you who have been dedicating time to the craft of blacksmithing and wanting something more professionally based.

 

The catalog of classes will be mailing nationwide in 2 weeks or so, giving you some heads up time to look through the website and this summers offerings. As always please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns about these wonderful workshop opportunities. Here is a quick listing on what's coming up this summer.
