Halloween Blacksmithing Demonstrations | Bring a Spoon!

Blacksmithing Spoon Demo

Based on the comment by Neo and his apprentice, characters in the cult film The Matrix, "There is no spoon", we will demonstrate just this idea in honor of the Mill Valley Film Festival.

Bring your stainless steel teaspoons to Equator Coffees at Proof Lab at 224 Shorline Hwy, Mill Valley, for an old world demonstration of the mythical, magical, and transformational art of blacksmithing.  

On October 26th and 27th, between 10am and 2pm out front, we will be featuring local avocational blacksmith and Silicon Valley veteran, Tom Lamar, Founder of www.LaunchSail.com and part of the Inktomi startup team.

Using a simple anvil, hammer and forge he will be creating, reshaping, twisting, and bending your spoons into memorable keepsakes that will add a touch of hand craftsmanship to your sugar bowl or make great gifts for your coffee & tea drinking friends.

There will also be other forging demos so feel free to bring forks and spoons of any size (the bigger the better) as long as they are stainless steel (no silver please).
