About the Instructor
About the Instructor
John A. Brandt will be guiding you through the basics of Blacksmithing. From picking up blacksmithing as a hobby behind a Victorian emporium in small-town Nebraska over 10 years ago to transporting an anvil and tools on a couple of cross-country moves, forging and metalwork have enthralled me from the start. My focus has tended toward functional objects: tools, jewelry, knives, and hooks and hangers. However, I find form reveals itself from function and I frequently let the metal guide me toward the finished result - an ever-evolving conversation if you will. As much a student as an instructor, I learn something new every time I pick up a hammer and tongs and love passing on that knowledge to others.
