Calling all blacksmiths, metalsmiths, and those interested in metalwork. Please join us at a hammer-in at the Waterloo Farm Museum. This is not a public demo, the grounds are open just for us. There is no cost to attend this event or rustic camp, though donations to the museum are strongly encouraged. All levels welcome, from complete novice to expert. Just bring what you have! If you would be willing to teach a class/workshop, please let us know.
Rustic camping space available (and encouraged). Bring a cooler, a dish to pass for the Saturday night potluck, coal or propane, steel, and equipment (if you have it). A popup for your work area is highly recommended. There will be an Iron in the Hat raffle** to benefit the museum. Theme to be decided (please do your best to create something within the theme to donate to the raffle, for those new to the concept). Please consider creating items to donate to the gift shop as well! The museum is a volunteer run nonprofit and it is a good way to give back to the site.
**NOTE: Only Michigan residents are able to purchase raffle tickets. **
