Forged In Fire – Ryu Lin By LA Guzda
The art of Blacksmithing is alive and well in Lackawaxen, PA. In fact, the winner of The History Channel’s Forged In Fire (season 1), Ryu Lin, is one of northeast Pennsylvania’s newest residents. I had the pleasure to meet Ryu in his studio and get a personal demonstration of his craft.
Bejeweled & Bedazzled!
