About the presenter:
THE WIREBENDER, Weezil Samter is passionate about creating from cast-off materials and sharing his knowledge with those taking the time to show an interest. Combining the creative with the useful—from copper jewelry to Viking drinking horns to armor for full-contact fighting in the Society of Creative Anachronism—Weezil is always exploring new ways to imaginatively reuse discarded materials. Active at farmer’s markets, craft shows, and renaissance fairs, he shares his talents and materials freely. Hammering a musket ball or pipe, twisting a wire all while chatting, Weezil is never without a bit of copper, a pair of pliers or an interesting idea.
