Ford Hallam "iron Brush" Workshops In Hamilton, Ontario.

[Kevin Adams]

I’m very excited to announce a short series of Ford Hallam’s “Iron Brush” workshops here in Canada, as a conclusion to his North American spring teaching tour.

 

A new metalworking studio is in the process of being set up in Hamilton, Ontario by Tamahagane Arts. This is intended to be a Canadian base for a future series of Iron Brush workshops and programs, as well as a wide array of metalworking and smithing programs and workshops. The studio is located at www.270sherman.ca.

 

Setting up the studio is in its initial stages and the course fees are estimated, but the workshop dates are set! Registration inquiries and deposits can be directed to allen@tamahagane.com.
