Whirlwind

One of my students nudged me about my blog yesterday.  Oh, right. I really should post something, even just to say, "yep, still here!"

Yep. Still here!

It's been a whirlwind of a year since I last posted.  I feel like I've traveled more than I've been home.  I spent 4 incredible months at John C Campbell.  I was filmed for a few episodes of Man at Arms. I got to teach at John C Campbell, Touchstone, Brookfield, Central Maryland Blacksmith Guild, and I'm prepping up now for a class at the Banton-Smith Center. I got to help found the Society of Inclusive Blacksmiths.  I demoed for Central Virgina Blacksmith Guild, and will be demoing at NC-ABANA this weekend. In the spare moments in between, I've been teaching at my shop in Frederick, MD, doing some commissions, and sketching out curriculum for some new offerings! 

Each one of those experiences deserves to be its own blog post and, indeed, I have half-finished drafts that may, one day, get posted.  I've learned a lot, but need some time to process all that into coherent blog posts. 

I am looking forward to spending some dedicated time shop in October, November, and December.  I've just posted the class schedule for those three months.  We're planning an open studio soon, so stay tuned!
