Tender Table & The Southern Maine Workers' Center are hosting two Intro to Blacksmithing workshops led by Kiran Chapman of Soma Metalwork on April 6 & 7. Register below!
Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower invites us to be bold in our visions of equitable living in a wounded world. And we’re thrilled to invite you to help us expand that vision here at home through Radical Nourishment: Food, Soul & Community for the Future, a series of gatherings designed by and for BIPOC organizers to deepen our connections with each other, our relationship with the land around us, and the power we need to survive and transform the conditions we are rooted in.
We'll learn the basics of blacksmithing from Kiran Chapman (he/they), a metalworker and bladesmith who runs their own small business and teaches classes out of their workshop in North Yarmouth. This half-day class is offered on both Saturday and Sunday and will focus on two small metalworking projects that relate to our relationship with land and food: farmhouse-style wall hooks and hanging seed dishes.
You don’t need any prior knowledge of blacksmithing or Parable of the Sower to join us. Accessible accommodations and rides to the location are available. Lunch and childcare will be provided.
Space is limited. These events are for BIPOC only.
