DEMONSTRATORS:
Principal Demonstrator - Zack Noble
Asheville, North Carolina
My current work involves stretching and expanding on traditional techniques in an effort to create modern designs with a focus on craftsmanship.
I make sculptural, functional, and architectural work and enjoy challenging myself with each new project. My work can be found in or around clients homes from Florida to New York to Main Street Telluride, Colorado.
I have been published in several books including Dona Meilach’s “Ironwork Today: Inside & Out” and Matthew S. Clarke’s “From Fire to Form”. I have taught at Penland School of Crafts, Peter’s Valley Craft Center, John C. Campbell Folk School, and have demonstrated nationally.
My demonstration plans are to build a small sculptural wall piece related to my "Signature Series" work. It will utilize a bunch of different techniques and joinery methods that I use regularly.
EDUCATION AREA:
Class Description:
Logan and Andy's throwback class! Forging Skulls and Tool Making.
The class will be going over heavy sledge hammer techniques with top tools to explore mass isolation and plastic forming techniques. Participants will also be making tools to fit their specific needs in regard to design. We will include the process of "case hardening" to make tools on the run with mild steel. This will be an all skill level class .
Andrew Dohner is currently operating out of Roseburg, Or. He just completed a power hammer class at Center for Metal Arts and will be teaching a concentration at Penland School of Crafts in the Spring of 2020. (andrewdohner.com)
