Sometimes it seems we are moving backwards. Sometimes that is good; to evoke nostalgia, or more sustainable human earth relations. Other times, it seems we are moving backwards in forging ever more clever instruments of war or ideological attacks upon one another. We exited the stone age to form tools of a new material in the bronze age. But it was the invention of the blast furnace, iron metallurgy and the forge between 3000 and 4000 years ago which set us on the modern path.
Tonight we go back to the future with a presentation by Lyle Poulin a blacksmith forging irons. Working with metal since eleven, Lyle also makes jewelery and blades as well. Another specialty is architectural iron work.
