About
Ryan Leis returns, with his heat, hammers and anvils, to teach us the ago old techniques of the blacksmith.
The blending of magic and intention is an essential part to creating success. Making your own tools from fire, steel and your own sweat equity creates a implement of intense power and focus that could become a special element of your craft.
Watch as local blacksmith demonstrates his skills on the forge in the Palmerston Lion's Park. Stay tuned afterwards to ask questions!
