Southland Academy fifth graders enjoy Trenton Tye`s blacksmithing demonstration.

Southland Academy fifth graders are transported back to the Colonial Period as they culminated the six week Why America is Free Program. One of the highlights of the day was a visit from native Georgia blacksmith Trenton Tye. Laura Kinslow, Lower School Director, said, “The students were captivated by Mr. Tye’s skill, knowledge, and authenticity. He enjoys spending time with young students, and his desire to share his craft and to expose students to his artistry was such a valuable experience for our students. Mr. Tye’s willingness to answer questions, interact with the students, and to let the students feel the metal and the objects he made was a truly wonderful involvement for students and adults alike.
