metalliferous Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Earlier this month, I posted asking for pointers/info/warnings on giving a smithing demonstration. I gave the demonstration this morning, and I'm happy to report that it went very well. I only had them for about an hour and a half, so I didn't get as much done as planned, but I think they all got into it and really enjoyed seeing some forging. Thanks for the tips.

chyancarrek Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Congratulations on a successful demo!! Glad to hear it went well. So, have you been bitten by the " I wanna do more" bug now? It can be kind of addicting as you get comfortable with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bipolarandy Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Good for you metalliferous , but only a hour an a half???? Thats a life time for a demo. Iv been doing demos for 3rd 4th and 5th graders at a museum and I get 10 minutes with them. You want a tip, If you cant captivate a 4th grader in 10 minutes then you wont in 90 minutes ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalliferous Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 chyancarrek, I do look forward to demoing again, but I'm not sure when I can do it. bipolarandy: Fortunately for me, these weren't fourth graders, they were twelfth graders. The idea of demonstrating to elementary school kids isn't terribly appealing to me, but good on you for pulling it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
