  1. Ms. Caitlin's School of Blacksmithing

    14H AGO

    Ms. Caitlin's School of Blacksmithing

    Caitlin was drawn to the ornamental ironwork as a kid and re-ignited that passion as an adult searching for a hobby. From there she discovered the joy of blacksmithing and the idea of sharing the craft with a school was born! It took some time, but now Caitlin created a school and has been sharing what she has learned for years. We discuss Caitlin's journey and some of what she learned from her students about teaching. Caitlin is a founding member of the Society of Inclusive Blacksmiths and we discuss their mission of supporting equity, diversity, and accessibility in blacksmithing.

    Dan Peterson - Quilting Irrationally

    Dan Peterson is making quilts, with a little math. We go over Dan's journey to quilting, and I try to remember what an irrational number is, so I can pick my favorite one! Along the way we cover tetris, sudoku, lava lamp security, and a lot, a real lot of squares. There's an interesting bit on what it means to seek mastery in a field. I met Dan on Xyla Foxlin's Patreon discord, and we discuss what a great community it is. Check out Dan on Instagram and Youtube.

    Mark and Nick: Making Art is a Verb

    Mark and Nick are back, and we return to the topic of real human creativity versus the void of Generative AI. Does AI make more artists, or keep people from the true experience of making something? We explore these topics, and at least make an attempt to find a path forward.
