Local blacksmith, John Buff of Refining Fire Forge, will return to Ooltewah Farmers Market on Thursday, May 7, 2026, 3-6 pm. He will have the forge fired up and will demonstrate live throughout the day, showing you how he works with and forms metals. Feel free to ask questions because he is here to teach and share. He will have some small projects for kids to do. He will also have some of his blacksmithing work for sale, so look for his table! This is a FREE community event at Ooltewah Farmers Market and will be an ongoing event during the market. Everyone is invited.
