Adrien Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Hi everyone My name is Adrien. I live actually in South Africa until July 2016. I am French. I am 20 years old. I actually working with a artist blacksmith in Cape Town during 3 months again, but I want to visit more workshops and discover more technics. It's why I a chose to contact all of you. My plan it's to do a trip of several blacksmith workshops in South Africa during 3 or 4 months. I don't do that for money, for me it's juste a great expérience for learn this beatiful and varied job. About my expérience : It's been 5 years since I started playing the Hammer in France a cross différent workshop and régions. In the begening a learn métalworking but I chose to become a artist Blacksmith. This year a chose to live this experience in South Africa because I love this wonderful country and meet some different cultures. It is also to work my English... I come in Cape Town in Septembre since the first week when I arrive I find a work and a house in Cape Town... But for the end of my year here I want to travel and meet some other blacksmith. If someone are interested about my project and wants to know more about my work send me a pm. Just some weeks or days with you, in your workshop in your town it's gonna be a great exchange and sharing moments. This trip will also help to know the South African blacksmith in France. Thanks for your help Best regard Adrien Corbin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianinsa Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Hi Adrien, I'm back at my place in Johannesburg. And would once again like to extend the invitation! I'm located at 69 pine Rd Kyalami . Cnr. Zinnia. If you wish to Google Earth it just type "69 pine road, Midrand" on your google screen to see the location. Its right across the road from the Kyalami castle. My e-mail address in ian214(at)live.com I thought I had a e-mail address for you but I seem to have mislaid it. Regards Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
