Novice97 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I am a senior in my high school year. I am wanting to need to set up plans for after high school. My one passion is to become a Blacksmith, but I don't know of any institutions or people to learn from. This is the only thing that I want to do with my life, and really wanting/needing someone to help me, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneCoeArtistBlacksmith Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 You are not to far from Adams TN: Possum Trot Forge – Meets the last Sunday of each month at 1:00 pm at the Adams Museum behind the old Bell School building on Highway 41 in Adams TN. John Williams 615-696-8390. The AACB http://aacblacksmiths.org is the Tennessee affiliate of ABANA www.abana.org. You might want to look into going to college at Tennessee Tech and take the Fine Arts Major and take the blacksmithing courses at Appalachian Center for the Craft https://www.tntech.edu/craftcenter/. Or you might want to look into work studies at the John C. Campbell Folk School www.folkschool.org. near Murphy, NC at Brasstown, NC. Let me know if I can help you. I prefer e-mails over PMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'll put your general location in the header you might be surprised how many of the IFI gang live within visiting distance. Frosty The Lucky.

Novice97 Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 I put it in the tittle so that people don't have to take the time and read much just to get location and whatnot. Though, thank you for the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the iron dwarf Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 adding it to your profile means you dont have to put in it every thread or reply where location affects the reply even just the state Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
