Another one | Introductions Come First, Right? | Forum

Having someone go to you would be rather expensive. Add in airfare, per diem, hotel, daily income, etc. The daily cost would be greater then the cost of a 2-3 or so day class. I only know the name of one of the blacksmiths in Idaho off the top of my head but I do not have the contact information or permission to give his name out. I do know I've heard of others. You might try a different approach by way of letting everyone you chat with know that you are looking for a somewhat nearby blacksmith instructor, or even a skilled hobby smith that can help teach you. Even bringing it up to a stranger in a store can jog someone memory to go oh yeah ...........Local farriers may have contact information with other blacksmiths too. You might also try looking for someone across the border in Oregon.
