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 in 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 almost 20 years. Carla is happy now to call Minneapolis home and continues her work of education and collaboration in her North Minneapolis-based studio.
