I am Free Wind Forge, and have been blacksmithing since 1981. My professional training is in both expression through art, and in traditional ornamental ironwork. I pursue both at the anvil, the blissful impractical organic forms, and, the technically precise hand tools I love to use. Throughout my years I've taught others about the joy,magic and value of blacksmithing, by individual instruction and "live" hands-on events for K5-12ers for Art Museums, Arts Festivals, Municipalities and Public Schools.
