March 17, 201115 yr Hello Dale, Finally figured out how to post an entry. I am not very good at computers but am much better at blacksmithing ! Here is my entry : My name is Denise, trained in Hereford, UK, under Paul Allen with The 'Countryside Agency'in pure forgework. Moved to Australia 3 yrs. ago, worked with 'Antonio Battisstessa Studios' along with Antonio, Adam and Simon - the best guys in the world, I miss them all madly. Husbands job has moved me to nr. Canberra and now I am 'all alone' with the very basics of equipment, miss my power hammers,tools and company, so if anyone has room for me in their workshop, let me know ! Am also a member of the 'British Artist Blacksmith Association,' they have a fantastic magazine, comes out 4 times a yr. well worth looking at their website baba.org.uk I love my blacksmithing and welcome any contact, Happy Hammering everybody !
