Carla grew up in the land of the Pines in central North Carolina, where she learned to use tools at an early age. She developed a foundation of blacksmithing at Penland School of Crafts and while apprenticing with various blacksmiths throughout the US. She established her small arts studio Carla Hall Metal Design and has run youth programs at The Crucible, in Oakland, CA for the past almost 20 years.
