Hello Members!
The time has come! [Registrations](https://forms.gle/GwPcnR4tqkpq1aGBA) for the first annual Torch-a-Thon are now OPEN!
If you don’t yet know about Torch-a-Thon because you are new to the Allegheny Metals Collective, you will definitely be learning more in the coming weeks. Torch-a-Thon will run in conjunction with Weave-a-Thon at Contemporary Craft!
The brief overview is this…
On Saturday, November 15th, 15 benches will be set up with materials ready for you to make ornaments from noon until midnight. That’s right! We’re going to be making until midnight!
The goal is to make as many ornaments as we can to sell in the Store at Contemporary Craft. Each ornament will sell in the Store for $40 and the metalsmith who made the ornament will receive $20 for each ornament sold. Materials will be provided.
We are also asking each metalsmith to encourage their friends and family to sponsor them. It is a “Thon” after all! All of the sponsor money raised at this year’s Torch-a-Thon will fund new tools and equipment for the expanded metals studio and blacksmithing studio.
Many more details will be sent to metalsmiths who register, but please read the newsletter for a few answers to some anticipated questions…
