We are pleased to welcome back Mary Greensted as our speaker. Mary’s talk earlier this year looked at the Cotswold traditions of blacksmithing and the contribution of the Arts and Crafts, all of which inspired Alan Evans, designer-maker of the museum’s grille now over the café entrance. Mary is now looking at the development of artist-blacksmithing in the late 1970s and some of the exciting projects that were created, the new generation of blacksmiths – women as well as men – and the growing importance of hands-on crafts including blacksmithing for disaffected young people with special educational needs, neurodiversity or behavioural issues.
Cost per person including tea/coffee and cake: FoTW members £11, non-members £13
