[ABANA] CanIRON IV

CanIRON IV

CanIRON IV, the fourth biennial Canadian Blacksmith Conference was held at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario July 9-13, 2003. Despite the American press spreading fears of the threat of SARS and mad cow disease, the event proved to be a great success. Below are a sampling of photographs from the event taken by Will and Monti Hightower, Noah Martin Kirby, and LeeAnn Mitchell. The event featured demonstrations by Jim Wallace, Eddie Payne, Scott Lankton, Charles Orlando, Lloyd Johnston, Doug Newell, Dean Piesner, Cairn Cunnane, Doug Wilson, and Elizabeth Brim. Be sure to plan ahead and attend
CanIRON V with the site to be determined. For additional information about CanIRON V please check the links below.
