Mark Aspery Demonstration May 4th & 5th

World renowned blacksmith, author, and educator Mark Aspery is donating 2 days of forging demonstration as a fundraiser for the Saltfork Craftsmen Artist Blacksmith Association (SCABA)! This May 4th and 5th event is being held at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds in Norman, Oklahoma.

Mark Aspery has been teaching and demonstrating blacksmithing for over 30 years and is retiring from the circuit this year. He is most well known for setting the gold standard with his invaluable "The Skills of a Blacksmith" books. His upcoming 4th book in this series will be more of a roadmap, focused on improving individual skills. The projects featured in this soon to be released volume 4, will be the very same ones demonstrated over this 2 day event. This is a rare, and possibly last, chance to learn in person from one of the most prolific and respected educators in the industry. Bring your cameras, your notebooks, your best (and worst!) questions with all proceeds going to support your local non-profit Saltfork Crafters.

All attendees are required to be current Saltfork members, so if you're not already one, or a bit lapsed, head over to https://saltforkcraftsmen.org and fix that! (click membership application in the top right).

Use the links below to get your seats reserved now. Ticket sales are non-refundable and final.

$100 gets you access to both Saturday AND Sunday: https://square.link/u/MzaGzC8T

$75 gets you access to one day of your choosing: https://square.link/u/iWr3OOeb

Mark is also graciously donating the pieces he forges over the weekend to Saltfork, which will then be auctioned off at the event!
