Gill Hill likes to write with hammers, and run with dogs. He loves spending hours on wooded trails, and is partial to delicious pizza. But more importantly, he is deeply in love with blacksmithing. The Elon (NC) native is a full time blacksmith, creating custom ironwork from central North Carolina. He has taken several classes at the Folk School, served as a work-study, assisted classes, as well as demonstrate at both his home forge and local craft fairs. He is a lifelong student of the craft, enjoying teaching as both an opportunity to share with and learn from his students.
