I am attending the following class next week and they tell me they have 
one opening left. The Tunnel Mill school is located about 15 miles south

of Rochester, MN. If you don't know who Tom Latane' is: as far as I am 
concerned, he is the best traditional craftsman blacksmith in the USA, 
at least.

Tunnel Mill will be offering a class taught by Tom Latane' on October 
12, 13, & 14th, 2006. The class; Forging Decorative Embellishments. With

inspiration taken from traditional Northern European cemetery and 
wayside crosses, students will chase patterns in flat stock, split bars 
into multiple scrolls and forge weld small pieces together to form 
multiple scrolls.
The class will forge a number of pagan and Christian elements 
traditionally used to ornament crosses and other work. These include 
dangling leaves, scrolled finials and dragon, angel and bird forms.

This will be a great opportunity to learn some of Tom's traditional 
techniques.

Some camping accommodations are available at the mill, close by motels 
and a meal plan.
