Festival Forging - at the Louisa Christmas Festiva. Had a GREAT time at the Louisa Christmas Festival, demonstrating, talking with festival-goers, trying some new forging techniques, watching a really neat parade, and sharing the craft we love!

A cold day, but we had something most of the festival-goers didn't have - WE HAD FIRE!

Thanks to Jesse Evans, Kat Flannery, Mike Gillespie, Bruce Manson, Tom Pendleton, Nick Vaughan, Todd Woerner, and Joe Woolf for representing our Guild!
