Description

This week on The Seed Cast we chat with bladesmith and blacksmith Jasper Herr. Jasper started his journey with forging classes and workshops that created a humble fascination. Frustrated by the difficulty of the medium, he quickly became engrossed with what it takes to master it. Over the past few years Jasper has built his business around blades and metal work that are equal parts utilitarian and artisan. In this episode, Jasper walks us through the technical aspects of manipulating metal and the importance of cultivating relationships to both handmade objects and their makers. Peep more of Jasper’s work at https://www.jasperherrironworks.com/ and follow him on instagram @jasper_herr_ironworks.

Jasper’s Artist picks of the week: Brenden Bohannon of Yallhalla Forge, Colin Ingalls, and Jamar Woods
