Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

We just got word that the Adam’s Forge Blacksmithing School is moving to a perfect historical setting --the collection of Victorian era buildings in Highland Park along the Pasadena Freeway, called Heritage Square Museum.
It’s called “Adam’s Forge” for Adam Leventhal, an artist and blacksmith whose family donated his equipment and art to a group of blacksmiths who formed the school. The faculty members are all local artists, from hobbyists to full time artist blacksmiths. Their president is Heather McLarty, who gave Off-Ramp producer Queena Kim a lesson in blacksmithing in 2007.
COME INSIDE to find out how you can visit Adam's Forge for FREE on May 16th. THE NEWS RELEASE: The Adam Leventhal Memorial School and Museum has moved to the site of the Heritage Square Museum on Homer Street, Los Angeles, where the artist/blacksmiths of Adam’s Forge will be offering classes in the craft of forging hot iron into objects of beauty and utility. The Grand Opening of Adam’s Forge at the Heritage Square Museum will take place on the Museum of the Arroyo Day, May 16th from 11:00 to 4:00, when five museums along the Arroyo Seco will be open free to the public. Come by and see the blacksmithing demonstrations and sign up for our e-mail information list.
