Learn a Skill with Mariana: Blacksmithing

Learn a Skill with Mariana is a departure from that. It’s a small-group tour built around learning real, regional human skills together. The name is a play on Claude Skills, but there are no panels, product pitches, or LLMs involved. Stop two: blacksmithing. On Thursday, January 21, we’re taking over Hardy & Fuller in Denver for an afternoon of fire, metal, and making things. We’ll see blacksmithing, knife making, plasma CNC, and welding demonstrations, then get hands-on with a small jewelry project to take home. Along the way, we’ll share snacks, meet fellow security, AI governance, and risk folks, and have time to actually get to know each other.
