Hi Melissa!
Thank you for reaching out, and my apologies for missing your initial email.
I appreciate you getting in touch regarding your blacksmithing program at the Library. We are always interested in opportunities that help push the craft forward, so I am forwarding your message to several smiths in the area who may be interested.
As you alluded to, I serve as the coordinator for programs rather than the instructor you’d be looking to bring in for the event. That said, I have also forwarded your inquiry to the Alex Bealer Blacksmith Association (http://alexbealer.org/), a local blacksmithing guild that may be well suited to assist you.

Additionally, I have copied several highly capable smiths who may reach out directly if their schedules and interests permit.
Thank you again, and best of luck with your program.

Meetings are held on the 3rd Saturday of each month.

All visitors are welcome to attend.

We currently have need for demonstrators and host shops.

These locations can change during the year so please
review this listing and the EVENTS/CALENDAR prior to each meeting date.
