Brisbane Blacksmith Group. ABAQld

Hi everyone (anyone??), Not official Brisbane Blacksmiths Association specifically, but just wondering if there are any regular forum members here at the moment who are from Brisbane, Australia (like me)? I know there are Facebook groups (I'm in a fair few of them) but I find discussion etc are easy to lose down your feed too quickly on Facebook, which is why I come here where things are well organised and more easily searchable. So, holler back! Cheers, Jono.

Good to see the people that make up the communities getting on top of things. Thoughts are with those that suffered losses of any kind.

Hi there! My name is Asphodel and I am a member of the Brisbane pagan community. I am just wondering if there are any masters who would be interested in teaching an eager individual how to blacksmith. I realise that this may be a sensitive subject to christian peoples out there and for that I do apologise. There is a MASSIVE demand for quality ritual equipment ie cauldrons, athame (ritual knives used to direct energy not for physical cut) and etcetera. If there is anyone in the brisbane area who would interested in casually apprenticing me so that i can learn to create these objects please contact me. Thank you and blessings
