As part of the , the dot.rural SIRA STREAMS project will be holding a public lecture with Scottish Sculpture Workshop (SSW) about their 'Turf to Tools' project.

From Turf to Tools is an ongoing enquiry by SSW into resources, material and landscape. During August 2014, this led to the recreation of an Iron Age smelting process in Lumsden, Aberdeenshire.

The lecture will cover the iron age smelt conducted by Master Blacksmith Darrell Markewitz and team at SSW in August. A video will show the smelt process from heating the forge to final extraction and there will be an opportunity to see first hand the materials used in the production and the end products.

6.45pm: Wine and cheese

7 - 9pm: Talks from SSW, the dot.rural SIRA STREAMS team about their work and live Q&A with artist Eden Jolly and Darrell Markewitz (joining us remotely from Quebec)
