6 day Blacksmithing Work Shop

As most of you know I've been welding for quite some time now. I recently tried my hand in blacksmithing for this past year. I have my own anvil. I have some tools. I am learning from a friend that knows more than I do but still a beginner himself. I searched a bit and found a school for blacksmithing. This is by far the most bang for your buck. It is 6 days from 7am to 7pm and they provide lodging with the cost of the class. There are many reasons why I want to do this. One reason is I want to help my friend who has been teaching me. It's not often I know more than him and I would love to share knowledge with him and broaden both of our skill sets. Another reason why is because I joined the Blacksmiths of New England and I want to represent women in this trade when they have their gatherings this summer. I want to be able to show them something great! And the final, most important reason for doing this is to finally be able to blend my artistic skills and my love of metal and fire together to create something that I can be proud of. Any support would help, even if you don't donate, your kind words and verbal encouragement also mean the world to me and that helps me more than you know! This is the link for the school. I am really excited. http://gwblacksmithschool.com/
If I am able to raise the funds for the class I will then purchase my plane ticket. If I don't make it all donations will be returned right away. I thank you again for your kindness and love and support!
