Dean Curfman and Uri Hofi
Dean is the manufacturer of Big BLU hammers and brought Uri Hofi to the ABANA conference to demonstrate his forging methods on the Big BLU hammer.
|
During his demos Uri made simple (and not so simple) components and basic shapes. At the end of the conference, under the direction of Steve Barringer of the Big BLU Hammer school and Paul Garrett resident smith at John C. Campbell Folk School, Ted Thompson from NC, Preston Farabow from Knoxville, TN and Jay Holeman from Pilot Mt., NC, assembled Uri's pieces into sculptures with assistance from the tools and resources of the ABANA set up crew. This colabarative effort produced some amazing work. The total collection of 17 lots brought some $3,025 at the ABANA auction. |
