Ki-tae Shim

Blacksmithing for ten years in Philadelphia

  • 🇺🇸 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
  • Redwood Trades Guild
  • 2013 to 2023
  • English, Korean
I've worked in blacksmithing from 2013 to 2023. I learned from my grandmother and passed what I could on to 490 apprentices. I can still tell good work from rushed work from across the street. I'm always reading two books at once.

Crafts and trades

What gifts mean to Ki-tae: A gift would go toward tools for apprentices who can't afford their own.
