The Missoulian is running a story about different winter classes that are offered at the University of Montana. Low and behold at least one is a blacksmith sculpting class. I wish they would have offered these classes at the University that I attended! It likely would have had me paying a little more attention in class. There are a few pictures and a nice write up as to why the students enjoy the class. Brad Allen teaches the blacksmithing classes.
