For 6 years I have lived on the beautiful Orcas Island, I am currently searching for a shop space in the Olga area. Find me on Instagram as Nettle_dog_forge, Etsy as NettleDogForge, and Facebook as Kiel Sloper. Feel free to reach out by email Nettledogforge@gmail.com

We're pretty sure he's at least partially Karelian bear dog. He has some of the behaviors like he is very talkative, he will climb trees and he will chase and tree or corner raccoons without attacking them. There is also a breeding program in Washington state for the forest service and he looks a lot like the dogs bred for them.

I would love to ! Email me, or fill out form below. I have really enjoyed the commissions I have had in the past for functional art like the plant stands or the brand you’ll see in my gallery. I would really like to do gates or trellises for a garden.

Yes! I've taught several classes including copper spoons and small bowls. I would love to teach more. I'm available for small group, 1 on 1, and demonstrations. I'm open for copper working and simple blacksmithing steel projects. Copper is great for kids and people who really don't want to risk a burn. It's nice because you don't have to work it hot!
