[TheForge] Carbondale

[John Switzer]

The shop is generally closed this time of year. But if you are still there the first weekend in August we will be having the Rocky Mountain Smith Conference in the shop. The shop is on the grounds of the Colorado Rocky Mountain School and is a teaching shop that has changed since Francis was there. Turn right just before City Market and follow the river. Just before you drive through the school gates you turn right on Whitaker (there is a forged blacksmith pointing the way). The shop is straight ahead. Look behind the shop in the glass blowing studio and ask for David. He will know where the key is. If he is not around you may try looking for Matt he runs the shop now, but isn't always around during the summer

I do not prize the word "cheap." It is not a badge of honor...it is a symbol of despair. Cheap prices make for cheap goods; cheap goods make for cheap men; and cheap men make for a cheap country. ~ William McKinley
