Goals
- To equip and operate a blacksmithing school.
Overview
We are currently seeking a suitable location on Cape Breton Island to establish the school.
Through ABANA and other blacksmiths world wide we have determined that a school in this geographical location would indeed succeed.
Promote the heritage craft of blacksmithing and stimulate creative ironwork.
I have teachers agreed to teach the various courses that we have designed from "introductory" to intermediate to advanced.
These teachers have world wide known resume's in their field.
I have arrangements with galleries to provide exhibit space here on the island as well as mainland Nova Scotia.
With the number of people that contact me through the website www.cbblacksmiths.com that ask about workshops and courses I am positive this venture would be an asset to the cultural fabric of Cape Breton and Canada as a whole.
