[Blacksmithing] Blacksmith event THIS SUNDAY

[Dillon Compton]

The 10th anniversary of the Blacksmithing program is being celebrated *THIS
SUNDAY, October 4th from 10am-4:00pm* (although the best demos tend to
happen from 10-12) at our annual Blacksmithing Meet (and greet).

Come see excellent smiths demonstrate cool new skills that we will try to
emulate at open forge and come meet professional smiths from all over new
england (we usually get like 30 of them here). If you have been doing this
blacksmithing thing for awhile and you have anything you are proud of that
you want pointers/feedback on, feel free to bring it and ask for feedback on
your work.

In the afternoon there is occasionally time for a some of us to try our
hands at things, but this is usually played by ear.

This year we will be having Hampshire students and alumni as our main
presenters in celebration of the 10th year of the program. They are all
skilled metalworkers, and there are some very interesting things for you to
see and learn.

We also serve FREE FOOD. Come at 10am and enjoy Atkins Farms pastries,
fruit, cider, and coffee. Stay at least through lunch, and enjoy high
quality ala carte sandwich makings, delicious snacks, and free beverages.

In other words, I don't want to hear any of you complaining that you need to
miss saga or some shit, 'cause we've got you covered.

Seriously though, last year student participation was low and this made Don
very sad. The signers of this group, the visiting smiths, Lemelson, Don
Dupuis, Roxie, our presenting students and alumn, and everyone else involved
in the program would really be excited and appreciative if you showed up and
represented Hampshire well.

BE THERE. SUNDAY AT 10AM. IF ENOUGH PEOPLE SHOW UP *ON TIME* WE WILL BUY
WINGS FOR NEXT OPEN FORGE.
