Fireside Chat at CAFAC with visiting teaching artist Elizabeth Belz on Sunday, April 7th, 6-7pm. You will get a chance to meet her and hear about all of the incredible things she is doing. AND hear about the class she taught with us.

Elizabeth is a blacksmith, educator, and the owner of Black Widow Forge. She is currently the Blacksmithing and Metals Coordinator at John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina and was previously the blacksmithing apprentice at the Metal Museum in Memphis where she trained under master smith Jim Masterson. Elizabeth was also craft education intern at North House Folk School in Grand Marais, MN, a resident artist with the Science Museum of MN, and a Creative Catalyst fellow. She has shown her work, competed, and taught blacksmithing throughout the U.S. and internationally and has most recently finished up a year long artist residency at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts. Elizabeth sits on the board of the Society of Inclusive Blacksmiths, an international nonprofit committed to building equity and diversity in the field of blacksmithing.

We can’t wait to see you! Light refreshments will be provided.
