After a long and successful career as a mystery writer spanning nearly 50 years, William Kasinski has hit a protracted and unsettling fallow period. Does this mark a temporary setback or the end of his professional work life? At his agent’s insistence, Kasinski agrees to attempt a memoir in hopes of reigniting his career, and to this end, returns to his hometown to revisit his beginnings. Once there, triggered by an encounter with an up-and-coming Young Adult novelist, William must reckon with long-ignored events of his youth, and their impact on his journey.

CFI Spring Hammer-In May 16 & 17th, 10 AM to 1 PM and 2 PM to 5 PM At The Hive: A Spokane Public Library at 2904 E Sprague Avenue. Join us for a weekend of forging with the club!
MORNING SESSIONS – BEGINNERS We will be offering beginning blacksmithing instruction for newcomers or folks who need a refresher during the first half of each day. Those who register for a morning session will learn the basics and can make one of a variety of simple projects like hooks, steak turners, bracelets, etc. with their instructor and using supplied materials. With your $45 morning registration, you are also welcome to stay and watch the forging in the afternoon. If you want to hammer the whole day, you can also sign up for a spot to Open Forge in the afternoon and continue practicing what you learned in the morning, just make sure to register for both sessions.
AFTERNOON SESSIONS – OPEN FORGE **For Returning Blacksmiths:** The afternoons are an open forge setup for experienced smiths to work on their own projects, experiment, and learn from each other. We ask that afternoon smiths bring their own steel, though we will have a limited amount on hand that can be purchased at cost from the club if needed. We will be running both coke and propane forges, and we have 1/4″, 3/8″, and 1/2″ tongs, and a limited variety of punches and chisels. Feel free to bring your own tools to make your project. Registration for the afternoon session is $25 and helps cover the cost of fuel and our insurance.
Everyone will need to sign a liability to release at check-in, and teens 13 to 17 years old will need a guardian’s signature (younger than 16 will also need an adult present during the event). 13-year-old smiths are the youngest we can accommodate at the event.
