| DURATION OF WORKSHOP 4 days COST – $280 + materials and equipment |
| STATUS OF STUDENT – advanced students, maximum of 8. Adrian has designed this workshop to cater for students who have achieved a level of experience, competence and technical skill in blacksmithing, and who are confident enough in this discipline to design and plan an individual project well before the event. A plan or outline will be required when completing the application form, and will be forwarded to Adrian. He will then advise on feasibility and preparation, before the event. These projects will then be worked through under the tutelage of Adrian, using mutual planning, consultation and demonstration. Although each project will be individual, all participants in the workshop will be encouraged to assist each other, if requested. Adrian’s Email address is hobbae@gmail.com |
