Come turn gun parts into art! We will start with the inner magazine tube of a .22 rifle and make a split cross (Here is a link to what they look like: https://south.rawtools.org/product/brass-split-cross-pendant) and hopefully another pendant or two. We will be using propane torches and scrolling tongs and pliers along with a band saw and a polisher. It might get hot, loud and rowdy but we are sure to have fun as we flip the violence paradigm and transform guns into something beautiful.

Scotty Utz splits his time between serving as the Artist Blacksmith for RAWtools South and making commissioned work. Scotty spent his early years tinkering in the first floor of his fathers studio which was a wood shop where paintings were framed and crated for shipping. He started welding while working on ranches in Wyoming and Montana and got turned on to blacksmithing after moving back to Western North Carolina. He earned a BS in Finance from Sanford University, and somewhat later a M.Div at Princeton Seminary & then a few years after that went back and picked up a Masters in Sociology from the University of Wyoming before starting classes in A-B Tech's welding program and Haywood Community Colleges Blacksmithing Courses. It's been a circuitous journey to this point but in the end, Scotty like others in his family, couldn't resist a return to making art.
