The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents
Digging Into the Past
The Ancient Craft of Blacksmithing
with
  Nora Bourbon


BREWSTER, MA ­Digging Into the Past, the Cape Cod 
Museum of Natural History’s archaeology and 
history series, presents The Ancient Craft of 
Blacksmithing with Brewster native and artist 
Nora Bourbon Friday, September 29, 2017 at 1pm.

Do you think blacksmiths no longer exist? Think 
again. This field is experiencing a bit of 
resurgence as people look for a craft with an 
artistic component that can provide a usable 
product for those who are looking for something 
out of the ordinary and many of today’s 
blacksmiths work with the tools and techniques utilized for many centuries.
Norah Bourbon has been a “smithy” since 2010 and 
volunteers at forges in Eastham, Brewster, and 
Barnstable and at the country Fair Grounds. From 
the sooty corner of the shop, she will be dusting 
off, placing her tongs on the anvil and hanging 
up her forging apron to explain the basic tools 
and set up of a Smitty’s workspace. Join Norah as 
she shares her knowledge of the ancient craft of 
blacksmithing and she will also have some of her 
unique forged items for sale after the talk

Free with Museum Admission

  For more information please call the Museum at 508-896-3867 ext. 133.
