Spruce Pine Main Street is proud to partner with the Toe River Arts Council and Penland School of Crafts for the annual Fire on the Mountain Blacksmith Festival 2014 April 26th, 2014 from 10 am to 4 pm downtown Spruce Pine.

This year's Master Blacksmith Scott Lankton received his B.F.A. from Western Michigan University in 1978. He opened his own studio in 1979. In 1985 he went to Aachen, Germany and received his Diploma at The International Teaching Center for Metal Design where he apprenticed under Manfred Bredohl. Today he works as a studio artist mostly doing architectural commissions in steel and bronze such as stair railings, gates, furniture, kitchen racks, and sculpture. Recent projects include 180 feet of dogwood motif railing in steel and bronze, forging handguns into artwork, and a large hanging sculpture for a cancer center. Blacksmiths Mike Rossi and Andy Dohner will also be demonstrating at the main demonstration tent throughout the day.

Blacksmiths will be selling their wares and be doing demonstrations at their individual booths.

Blacksmith tool vendors selling forges, tongs, hand held hammers and power hammers will be offered.

Penland School is sponsoring the Hands-on Tent where with assistance from an experienced blacksmith people of all ages can try their hand at the art of blacksmithing.
