White Hart Forge School of Traditional Blacksmithing and Ornamental Iron.  We run this school from our shop and teach students the basics in the trade of the blacksmith.  We have students come to us that are looking for a trade because they are laid off or need to change careers.  We work with the Portland State Sculpture Co-op to help add to their studies in iron art and sculpture. We have also taken on apprentices from the university who trade work for the experience in a shop.  We are also starting classes for the community that relate to making your own garde and farm tools.  As many people are creating their own Victory gardens they are looking for ways of " Tooling it yourself". We teach how to build these tools or repair old ones and how to use recycled steel to make them.  its all very much hands on for the student.  Please add this to Monday's show.

Thanks
