Thursday night at the forge. Busy night at the forge! Paul Webster’s knife class students were busy forging and grinding. Not pictured, we also had a 12 year old for his second class swinging hammer. He went home very happy with his forging pieces.

The Forging Community Board met following the classes for a very productive meeting that included approving new by-laws, planning for our big move to the Armory in 2027 and a full summer schedule of festivals and demonstrations.
Exciting times!
