Yesterday Waterside had to deal with an infestation of fire snails that burst out from the forges being tended by our Module 2 students. We think the snails (which form the second of three Module 2 exercises) are awesome and our very proud of our students who learned the challenges of splitting, scrolling and fire welding. The class was once again led by our mastersmith Jack Wylestone, who had some fun with a our new rolling whiteboard.
