[TheForge] blacksmithing / metalwork formal training and higher education

[Peter Fels & Phoebe Palmer]

All these excellent references sort of ignore the personality, age, resources, and inclinations of the young guy in question.
Some of us don't enjoy a formal scholastic environment. Some of us do better given direct immersion opportunities. Some of us need much less support and would thrive with occasional guidance and exposure to the possibilities.
Perhaps the best thing might be to deliver his young butt and a sleeping bag to one of the larger BS conferences, and let him get his hands dirty, first off.

Cranbrook Academy of Art, maybe?  Not sure what sort of program they have,
but I know an artist-blacksmith who went there.
