Hi Everyone!
Our shop is throwing a big gathering of demonstrators with a focus on swords and their construction (including a range of topics ranging from smelting steel all the way up to pattern-welded blades), associated fittings, and even combat techniques at different points throughout the centuries. This event will span the entire weekend of November 2-3 up at our shop in Wolcott, CT. The announcement was made on our website a while back, but just recently we were able to get a confirmation of attendance by a number of key demonstrators, all of which are now listed here on our announcement page. All of the registration particulars can be found by scrolling to the bottom of the page where we have set up a paypal button for convenience, or if you like, you can send payment directly to our address listed there.
Our shop consists of four full-time smiths (myself included), all of whom will be giving demonstrations of our own, in addition to the robust list of guest demonstrators. Everything gets started at 9 AM saturday and runs for a full 12 hours. Lunch and dinner will be provided on site for saturday, and when things get started back up at 10 on sunday, we'll be providing lunch again.
Please take some time to look over the sites of the individual demonstrators. They will all be bringing the weight of their collective experience to the table and we hope you can make it to see the results.
If you have any questions, feel free to send an email off to info@fallinghammerproductions.com and we'll respond as quickly as we're able.
Thanks!
P.S.: This is the same post I've already put up on the AA, but I was hoping there might be a few folks living in or near the Northeast who don't also populate the archives that might be interested in this. Although the bulk of this weekend has a decidedly occidental focus, there are a few demonstrations that span several geographic locations. The one real exception being my demonstration, which is (up until recent times) strictly a japanese practice. I'll be demonstrating yuwake, which is a method of casting certain metals (read: almost exclusively copper and its alloys) directly into water.
