[TheForge] demos

Tough question.
What discipline?Architectural,craft show,knives,furniture, historical 
replication, sculpture, repose', etc.?
Remember, a good blacksmith is not necessarily a good demonstrator or 
teacher. Abana has a list of approved demonstrators. But there are MANY more 
highly qualified.
You could get a list longer than the membership of theforge because 
"different strokes for ....folks" . That's why they make chocolate and 
vanilla. The pitfall is getting someone famous that everyone has already 
seen, or a great smith that can't talk to a crowd.
Expenses/honorarium?
