This Week at IAStudios

Hello again,

Reenactment season has really kicked into gear now and I am definitely feeling my bruises from last weekend at Glastonbury. This weekend it’s off to Cumbria to do it all over again at Greystoke Castle. Should you hail from the more northern reaches of the country please do come along if Norman period reenactment including blacksmithing, fighting and many other period-correct crafts sounds like your cup of tea.

In the forge this week we have a weekend of knives. We have 2 day Damascus knives and one day knife classes coming this weekend. (Don’t worry we will make sure we do have just a little time off on the bank holiday) Watch this space for some shiny and sharp creations coming soon. Besides the courses that we have on, Elliot is working on more windows, he really does love those things. Joe is working on some trinkets for a tolkien festival he will attend at the end of May, and Dan has been making some tongs and hammers.

See you next week,
~IAStudios
