Jordan LaMothe has an extraordinary family. His father is a Pianist and composer and his mother was a Harvard professor and prolific writer. They moved from Boston to an old dairy farm in Hebron, NY after his 7 year old sister found it for sale on the internet. The Farm became a place for the celebration creativity and self expression and the history of the dairy farm informed Jordan of his personal direction. Learning old skills that were utilized in the upkeep of the farm, Jordan learned Blacksmithing and how to work a farm raising cows and chickens and Oxen. Meanwhile he was learning music and his family, they wrote and preformed a Musical about their life on the farm . We covered his life and direction leading him to bladesmithing as well as him receiving the high honor of a Fulbright scholarship to study the art of Koftgari. This is the embellishment of sword hilts with silver and gold where he will be studying in the Rajasthan region of India; and in the midst of the Pandemic, his trip is definitely in peril.

We had a great conversation weaving in his skills, direction and history. As I write this I realize how indelible a mark the Dairy farm made on his life. If his family hadn’t left Boston, or had moved to a suburb, the decisions made by necessity would have been different and Jordan wouldn’t have been a decorated bladesmith. What a great conversation and a talented person who worked through true adversity.
