SUMMARY:Beginner Blacksmithing with Dan Partin:  Coat Hanger July 12\, 2025 9am to 3pm
DESCRIPTION:Come play with hot metal\, it’s fun. Dan has been a hobby blacksmith for more than a handful of years. His background is in science\, but now is doing mostly smithing. He was on the “Ramblin’ Rod” television show twice and failed to win the smile contest either going. He’s not bitter at all about that. You can see some of Dan’s work (and pictures of cute dogs and pizza) here.\nhttps://www.instagram.com/gunterhausfrau/\nThere are two stand alone classes from Dan this weekend\, but a student could be encouraged to take both. Class 2: Blacksmiths padlock is more of a guided workshop\, so if you are new and can only take one\, I would suggest Class 1; Coat Hanger. \nThe main project for this class will be a coat hanger. Sounds simple\, but it does capture many of the basic skills of blacksmithing. Material management\, drawing out\, isolating material\, making an aesthetic curl\, punching a hole\, symmetry\, etc. \nWhat to wear/safety equipment : \n-Cotton pants and long sleeved shirt (synthetics are potentially flammable). \n-Leather boots (NO open toed sandals/shoes-tennis shoes are not recommended for safety). Make sure your pants fit over the tops of your boots so nothing hot can fall in. \n-Safety glasses\, ear plugs\, and a dust mask. Long hair must be tied back. \n-Leather gloves to protect your hands and a notebook to take notes. \n-Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated\, and lunch/snacks if you want. \nPLEASE PLAN TO ARRIVE 30 MINUTES BEFORE CLASS IS SCHEDULED SO EVERYONE CAN GET SET UP. \n  \nSELECT NUMBER OF TICKETS NEEDED THEN “GET TICKETS”

SUMMARY:Beginner Blacksmithing with Dan Partin:  Simple Padlock July 13\, 2025 9am to 3pm
DESCRIPTION:Come play with hot metal\, it’s fun. Dan has been a hobby blacksmith for more than a handful of\nyears. His background is in science\, but now is doing mostly smithing. He was on the “Ramblin’\nRod” television show twice and failed to win the smile contest either going. He’s not bitter at all\nabout that. You can see some of Dan’s work (and pictures of cute dogs and pizza) here.\nhttps://www.instagram.com/gunterhausfrau/\nDan is offering two stand alone classes on this weekend\, but a student could be encouraged to take both. The padlock class is more\nof a guided workshop\, so if you are new and can only take one\, we would suggest Class 1-Coat hanger. \nThe main project for this class will be making a simple blacksmith’s lock. This is not a complicated lock with wards and\nall\, but a simple screw locking mechanism. Very traditional\, though there is room to be as\ncreative as you wish. This will involve some fairly simple blacksmithing\, hacksaw work\, drilling\nand tapping. Nothing too precise. If you’re willing to swing a hammer and use a saw\, you can do\nthis project. \nWhat to wear/safety equipment : \n-Cotton pants and long sleeved shirt (synthetics are potentially flammable). \n-Leather boots (NO open toed sandals/shoes-tennis shoes are not recommended for safety). Make sure your pants fit over the tops of your boots so nothing hot can fall in. \n-Safety glasses\, ear plugs\, and a dust mask.

SUMMARY:Beginner Blacksmithing: 3d Sculpture - Art Decor Piece with Anton Yakushev July 19th & 20th
DESCRIPTION:Class description:\nSculptural forms. Students will be able to focus on traditional and nontraditional methods and techniques of joinery and design. We will practice how ancient forging craft of blacksmithing can make a contemporary modern piece of art.\nSkills and techniques to be covered/taught: \nHand forging a sculptural piece in the form of a flower. Tricks of forging about 10 individual pieces\, then seeing how they all join together to make a full sculptural piece.\n\n\nCLASS TIME: class is 9am to 3pm each day with breaks for lunch or as needed.\n\n\nABOUT the Instructor:\n\nAnton Yakushev\, is a sculptor and artist blacksmith who creates one-of-a-kind hand forged in fire sculptures.  Every artwork consists of more than 50 details each forged separately and has a special and unique meaning. My artistic device is experiment and improvisation\, in fact\, I do not use\none-size-fits-all techniques. The key message of his artwork is humanism\, love\, and compassion for humanity.

Now an award-winning sculptor\, his artworks have been exhibited nationally\, as well as in the United Kingdom\, Italy\, Spain\, and the United States. He is a nationally and internationally distinguished artist\, whose works\nare in permanent collections all around the world\, including National Museums and Parks in the USA.
