what it is ....
This is a pilot program in response to requests I get regularly based on the 'makerspace' model... if things go well ... we'll expand it.
​
As with our workshops and instruction, Hammered Heart Forge exists to encourage and develop people to become the CREATORS we're born to be. HHF is here to help fill the VOID of CREATIVE OPPORTUNITIES we all live with. The goal of this program is to make resources available to CREATE.
​
​
​
who its for ...
The program is open ONLY to former HHF workshop participants only. Ages under 18 must be accompanied.
how it works ....
Register on the workshop calendar as normal. Hours start at 5pm... usually Thursdays and go until midnight. I will be present ... my role is not formal instruction. I'll be there as a resource and to facilitate. The costs cover use of studio equipment and tools including propane and abrasive belts.
​
I must be comfortable with your familiarity and ability to use machines and tools safely. I'll orient/train as necessary if either of us is uncertain.
