Touchstone Center for Crafts will host the 10th annual Jim Campbell Hammer-In from May 18–20, 2018. Anyone interested in learning more about the art of blacksmithing is welcome to register and attend. Held in the Hart Moore Blacksmith Studio on campus, this yearly celebration of all things blacksmithing honors the enduring legacy of longtime volunteer and Touchstone friend, Jim Campbell. In addition to a stellar line up of demonstrations at the forge by Glen Gardner, Anna Koplik, and Jared Ondovchik, we are thrilled to be hosting an exhibition iron pour by Rivers of Steel. It will be an exciting display as 2,000 pounds of iron is heated to 3,000 degrees and poured into molds on Touchstone’s campus. Make plans to come out to Wharton Furnace Road and enjoy the day as the sparks fly! Interested participants may choose to attend just the Iron Pour on Saturday evening, spend the day on Saturday, or the entire weekend of demonstrations and presentations. As a special offering, currently enrolled college and graduate students can attend the weekend at a reduced cost.
