What happened
Heritage-crafts/rural-development nonprofit (Cook's Mill Learning Center, Scotts MI; new ED Megan Yankee appt. July 2025; active 2025-26 class calendar). Teaches metalworking: blacksmithing I/II/III, basic coppersmithing/repousse (nonferrous), tinsmithing, knife-making. NO jewelry, silversmithing, enameling, or CAD-CAM. SNAG 'craft-center' listing; URL is tillersINTERNATIONAL.org (two L's), SNAG mis-spelled as 'Tilers'. Counts as metals via metalsmithing/coppersmithing, but it is forge/heritage metalwork, not studio jewelry.
