Countryboy39067 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Allison Well's School of Arts and Crafts is listed as a blacksmith school. It's located in Canton, Mississippi. Has anyone had any dealings or know anything about this place. I'm a member of the Mississippi Forge Council but would like a completehands on training more often if possible. Thanks folks.

Glenn Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 The lady answering the phone said they hold classes in the arts and film making, but nothing related to blacksmithing. I ask what type classes in the arts and she said they were children's level art classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countryboy39067 Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 If you googled blacksmith school a few months ago I would pop up. Well thanks a bunch Glen. Do you know of anyone in the central Mississippi area that would allow a newbie smith to watch and learn from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Countryboy39067 Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 Awesome!!! I'll be emailing you soon for details. Just a little FYI about me. I have been doing a little bit of blacksmithing (fire pokers, tent stakes, etc) and realized my current setup was only holding me back. I'm currently buiilding a 15x22 lean-to on the back of my shop and will close it in after I get my forge assembled, anvil set, and floor leveled and packed. Yeah I'm addicted already!!! Thank a bunch to all that replyed. Have a Blessed day everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
