These basics are incorporated through a series of distinctive projects that include a bookmark, spoon, and leaf fob.

For centuries, blacksmiths were the craftsmen and artists who worked society’s most important material—iron. Blacksmiths were not only a fixture in their community, they helped shape that community through their particular methods of making the hinges, hooks, brackets, and tools their neighbours used every day. Blacksmithing today is enjoying a resurgence. No amount of technical perfection replaces the feeling of picking up a hand-forged object, knowing that it was shaped by someone’s creativity and physical effort. Celebrate that individuality with The Everyday Blacksmith.
