Maker Faire Bay Area 2023
Forging Art With Fire
Home: California, United States
Join the diverse crew of Clay and Steel as they demonstrate the rare art of blacksmithing. Hammers and tongs, rock and stone, forges and fire. Journey through the ages as old techniques and modern science meet in our steel hardening demonstration. Contests between blacksmiths, forge-offs, and synchronized sledgehammer dances are sure to delight the young, old, and people who 'could totally do that' but don't for some reason. See sculpture being created for your eyes. Enter for a chance to win a 'blacksmithing class' where you can take part learning safety and try out blacksmithing in front of all the folks attending the Faire!

I have demonstrated with the Crucible at previous Maker Faires and Mini's before and had a blast teaching and showing off the skills of a blacksmith. Since then I've opened my own shop and have a team that's setting the industry on fire. We want to show people what we do so we can continue the tradition of hammering metal with fire for generations to come!
