At the WDM Saskatoon, blacksmith volunteers and interpreters, ‘spark’ interest and share the history of the trade in our province all year long. In our indoor Blacksmith Shop on Boomtown Street, volunteers like Bryan, Arlene, Zach, Brent, Jon, Rob, and Ashlie practice their skills and work to pass along their love of it.
As Jon shared, “Any art or trade that is hands-on has a steep learning curve. Without past generations, we can’t learn. You must keep passing it [knowledge] on or else it will be forgotten.”
