Trackers Earth Portland needs a blacksmith instructor for the summer, they are looking for someone to be a blacksmith teacher from June 15th through August 29th. If you know someone please pass this along.

Here is the schedule for the summer.   The class is for students grade 6-12.

Blacksmith Basics, is a week where we cover the basics of smithing. S-hook, nails, chisels, punches, leaves, flint and steel, blade form and any other basic the instructor would like to bring to the class.

Make a knife camp, over the course of the week the students will explore making a variety of knife forms and learning how to heat treat and temper blades. Of course we will start with an S-hook to teach those techniques. At the end of the week students need to leave with a tool steel knife with handle and maybe a sheath.
