Who? Kevin Cashen, Mastersmith among Mastersmiths
Where? The New England School of Metalwork in Auburn, Maine
When? Feburary 6th-9th
How Much? $575 plus a $25 registration fee. On site dorm use is $30 a night and that includes free wifi and kitchen access.
How much experience do I need? Seasoned beginner and up. Prior hot work and forge welding experience recommended for best results.
What will I learn? How to assemble, weld, fold and simply pattern a single billet of damascus steel. The billet will then be forged into a blade, ground, heat treated and if time allows, polished.
We ran this class last year with great sucess. All students went home with a polished and etched blade ready for a guard and handle(your results may vary depending on experience). Call 1-888-753-7502 to register or visit www.newenglandschoolofmetalwork.com for more information.
Here is a video from JD Smith's Damascus class to give you an idea of our setup.

Ha,ha,ha! Really? <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//biggrin.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />
I am working on some details for the class description right now, and look forward to teaching at the NESM again. If the class is a big enough success I may be able to build enough influence to negotiate a future visit in a month that Maine is not more frozen than Michigan <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//wink.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />
