Makers make using different materials. A very special group of makers make using hand-forged metals. They are called blacksmiths.
Join us on Tuesday, September 10 at 7:30 pm when blacksmithing and steel fabrication shop owner Christopher Daniel talks about his Blue Hell Studio School of Blacksmithing and Steel Fabrication. Chris has been working in steel for 28 years and creates unique, one of a kind steel furniture, railings, gates, and sculpture.
His introductory-level talk will provide an overview on tools and techniques, include some show-and-tell examples and wrap-up with an informal Q&A discussion.
Members, guests, first-time-walk-ins, and all those interested to learn more are welcome to come to hear his talk. Come early to see our space, meet folks, and check things out. Find Us.
