Join Tod Kershaw, engineer turned off-grid dumpster diver extraordinaire, as he walks us through the ins and outs of DIY Blacksmithing, foraging for metal in the scrap heaps and so much more! This class will empower students to find metal, tools and fuel and teach you what to do with it. All of the materials in the class will be 100% found, foraged, reclaimed & reused…even the coal!
The class will be held in a covered outdoor space in Barnardsville, NC on Saturday May 21, 2022 from 11am – 5pm. There will be half hour break for lunch – please bring a bagged lunch. Details about location will be emailed to class participants a week prior to the workshop.
This is a hands on class, and is for beginners to those with moderate experience. Minimum age is 12. Minors must be accompanied by an adult.
There are only 6 spots in the class, so register early.
Tod Kershaw has been a Firefly Gathering instructor since its beginnings, in addition to teaching at Forest Floor Wilderness Programs and various earthskills gatherings throughout the southeast. An engineer turned dumpster-diving fringe dweller, Tod left the mainstream, but kept his cleverness.
