This year’s demonstrator is Mark Pearce of Mystic Forge.
Mark Pearce started his blacksmithing career in 1983, he attended Hereford Technical College for general smithing and then went on to Salisbury COSIRA College for wrought iron.
Most of Marks work back in England was restoration blacksmithing on church gates, cathedral railings, etc., including restoration of the entrance gates of the Sandringham Estate for the Royal family.
In 1997 Mark set up his blacksmith shop in Calgary and has been forging custom railings, gates, and furniture ever since.
