Alfred Bullermann - 2012 Forging on the River Conference

Dear Fellow Metal Smiths,
I'am writing to ask for your help in getting the word out about the 2012 Forging on the River Conference to be held on the grounds of The Metal Museum, March 30 - April 1st, 2012. This year's connference features Alfred Bullermann of Freisothe, Germany - http://www.bullermann.de/ - as well as Haley Woodward - http://haleywoodward.com/home.html - and Colby Brinkman of The Austin Metal Authority - http://www.austinmetalauthority.com/ .

Alfred will be building an amazing bench to be permanently installed at The Metal Museum. Haley and Colby will amaze you with their tricks of the trade.

In addition to the chance to learn from a Master Blacksmith, Forging on the River provides metalsmiths and enthusiasts the opportunity to network with others who share their passion for the craft, exchange work and ideas and work collaboratively on projects, while enjoying the Metal Museum exhibitions and grounds. We have all kinds of exciting and inspiring activities planned for the weekend, so this event is a definitely a Must Attended!

Conference registration features a deep discount for students at $80.00 for the three days. Non-Student Registration is $100 before March 1, 2011; $135 after Feb. 28, 2011. One $80 companion ticket may be purchased with each full registration. ALL MEALS ARE INCLUDED in the conference fee, so this is a huge bargain. You may enroll online at http://www.metalmuseum.org/store/c/14-Forging-on-the-River.aspx

Please help us make this yearâ??s Forging on the River Conference the best ever by passing this email message on to your friends and fellow smiths. We are grateful for your support!

Also, you may want to consider donating to the Saturday night live auction, which will be attended by some of the biggest collectors in the mid-south. The proceeds of the auction will go to support The Metal Museum and its unique programming, including the 2013 Forging on the River Conference.
