Blacksmith Jim Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I just heard that Stumptown forge is holding a class with Jack Frost on making some really great frogs. Kudos! If anyone is around for it I would love to hear how it goes. Jack is a great smith and his frogs and turtles are really amazing. One of those things you look at and realize is innovative and *gasp* unique! Now that he is showing people how its done though I 'spose there will be more out there. He did a demo at the last NWBA conference I believe. I suspect he is going to the next conference as well. Stumptown is located in Portland Oregon. I haven't been there but would love to hear from anyone that has! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 That's one I'd like to attend if for no other reason than to have two Frosties in one room. I'd like to see some pics if anyone attends please. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacksmith Jim Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Frosty, he's a Brit, and quite a character. I'm sure you guys would have a very entertaining time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Those are very cool. Of course he's a character, he's a Frost isn't he? Now I'd really like to make it. Oh well. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianbrazealblacksmith Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Nice turtle, it looks like a baby snapping turtle. I'd like to see it done. I can see it's done efficiently; it's so clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monstermetal Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I would have liked to come down for that Ken but I am already signed up for Gary Eagles Art Deco screen class at Darryls that same weekend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason @ MacTalis Ironworks Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hey Jim, do you perchance know Michael and Sheila Ernst? They are glass blowers who live in Drain. My ex-inlaws too. I miss spending time in their shop. They taught me a little about torch work when my ex-wife and I visited. I keep half expecting to run into them at some of the art shows, but so far, I haven't seen them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
