Blacksmith Demonstration - JCSA
Blacksmithing is the skill of forging metal, using tools like a hammer and an anvil to make objects, like hinges, nails, hammers, and more. It was a common practice before the industrial revolution, when most towns had their own town blacksmith shop.
Do you have a Girl Scout that has wanted to learn the ancient art of Blacksmithing, but has no idea what to expect? Visit the space where you can learn metal art practices, meet Ashe (the founder and teacher), and watch them demonstrate how it is done! During this two hour event, two blacksmiths will be forging and taking questions. There will also be a Plasma CNC demonstration.
Hardy & Fuller will provide refreshments and guests are encouraged to hang out in the space, watch the blacksmith demonstration, and ask as many questions as you can think of! At Hardy & Fuller, we take pride in keeping and fostering a safe space for our community. Community is very important to us, and to be successful as an artist, or heck, as a person, we must facilitate space where community can happen! Hardy & Fuller is a safe space for all persons, especially women, LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and differently abled persons. Our shop is wheelchair accessible, and we are always looking to improve our access for those that are differently abled! Suggestions are welcome!
Capacity: 25 persons
Length: two hours
Cost: $15/person

This will involve heating the piece in the forge, using tools to twist, texture and bend the material until the correct shape is achieved. The best part is watching identical pre forged steel turn into 12 very unique pieces of art! This is a great entry point for beginners to learn how steel moves and works when it is heated to forging temperatures.
Number of participants: 12
Length of activity: 3 hours
Age of participants: 12 and up, ages 9-11 can do this with parents, but there will need to be one parent/gaurdian participating per child in this age range.

They also created a seed library which they filled with packets of seeds harvested from plants in their garden. Girls attending programs at the Center are welcome to visit the Seed Library and take home packets of native seeds to plant in their own gardens.

Prom Dress Exchange - All Levels
Every year around prom season, Prom Dress Exchange hosts an event where girls throughout Denver can shop an inventory of gently used and new formal dresses.
Girl Scouts can engage with Prom Dress Exchange in the following ways:
Prom Dress Drives: This is an opportunity for Girl Scouts and/or troops to host a dress drive during the year and learn about event promotion, planning, hosting, sorting, and wrapping up a successful event.
Prom Dress Inventory: We purge, sort, tag, and inventory prom dresses a few times yearly on a "need-based" schedule. We don't have a brick-and-mortar facility and operate out of a storage pod.
Fashion Show: We would be open to donating dresses if any Girl Scouts and/or troops would be interested in hosting a fashion show focused on sustainability, gently used garments, repurposed dresses, redesigned dresses, etc.
Upcycle: We would be happy to donate our purge dresses, which might otherwise end up in the landfill, for girls to cut up, experiment with, redesign, and/or make into other products.
Promotion: We would love to let the girls loose to spread the word about what we do by promoting our one-day pop-up shop to Colorado High Schools. This would expose the girls to grassroots efforts, cold calling, marketing, and event promotion.
