TW said, in part:  

"...When I am in the field with my forge and tools, most walk on by taking
little note. Some will stand and watch as I make an item then leave. A
few will ask questions while they watch..."

Please - talk to them!!!  Initiate the conversation rather than standing passively waiting for them to ask a question.  Our blacksmith works with 4th graders all the time and engages them actively in learning.  Your post implies that you just stand there and work.
