Calla lily storyboard

Instructor: Myron Hanson
Class size: 8 max.
Produce at least four people who can make a small Calla lily in less time than it takes the average curious power / steam show visitor to get bored with the process.  It is not Guild policy, but I would like to emphasize this to people who want to demonstrate for the public. (Become a demonstrator!!!!!!!!!!!)
Think of this as a class for relatively advanced forgers, but there is no need for metallurgy.  Wayne Olson was doing well on Armed Forces Day demonstrations in May.
I’ve shown the story board (Ring of samples really) at several meetings now.  It is a fair representation of the lilies that grow near Larry Britton’s place on the Scenic Hiway North of Hiway 2.  Myron prepared the examples and Myron is lead teacher for this workshop.
Cost is nominal ( $60 ) because we will not be spending a lot on materials. (3/8 Hot roll steel, coal and nominal rent.)  We will organize room for eight, and I am not worried about filling the class.  I’ve heard serious interest.
Lunch arrangements: Will be provided!
Bring: your favorite hammer
Safety equipment: safety glasses, ear plugs and work gloves are mandatory. Other safety equipment may include: leather apron, cotton clothing, pants, leather shoes.
