Blacksmiths at the Kentucky Renaissance Fair. Our booth’s name is Ivy and Dagger. We offer daily demonstrations and a warm atmosphere. You can find us next to the Great Hall / pub. Look for the smoke. Listen for the hammering. Photos taken at the Kentucky Renaissance Fair of our blacksmiths, knife makers, students and more. The 2023 season was great.
