Why we teach

We didn’t invent the anvil, tools or forge… We inherited it from those who came before. All of us benefit from the resourcefulness, tenacity, and grit of our ancestors...they made our mastery possible. We believe that competency gained is also an obligation incurred. We owe the craft.... we’re obligated to enrich the vast pool of knowledge given to us … and teach what we’ve learned.
