Is there a contact number for the Sarqit Michigan location? I tried the contact form on the website but have not heard anything back. I am looking for a teacher in West Michigan. Thanks.
DeleteHi Karyn-
DeleteI'm sorry for the wait. As far as I can tell, the Contact Form is the best way to get a hold of them. If nothing else, you could make the drive and talk to them.
Cheers,
Terran
I sent an email this afternoon to confirm, but I don't think they're in Michigan any more. It sounds like he moved to Denver.
DeleteThe info for Sarqit is a bit off. Do you mind updating it?

DeleteHello Terran, thank you for the referrals. We are scheduling now for fall/winter classes, including knife making. You're always welcome at our shop or we'd love to meet you down at Quadstate. Best of luck & forge on!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I'll get your information added back and updated. Thanks for the invitation to the shop. If you're ever down in southern Indiana, you're welcome to stop by Brown County Forge, too. I'm there most days.
