college

The Stroud News and Journal is reporting on the opening of a Forge over at the Ruskin Mill College in Gloucestershire, UK. The school teaches crafts to students with learning disabilities, including those that fall into the autism spectrum. It sounds like a great place and I'm always happy to hear about a new workshop opening up.

Al.com is running a story that covers Kevin Williamson, a professional blacksmith. Kevin works in Stockton Alabama, and runs a small blacksmith shop there. The article talks about Kevin's background and training, as well as how he got his start in professional smithing. It's a good read, especially for folks thinking about going into business.
