Description

Here is an excellent visual foray into the world of the artist-blacksmith. Dona Z. Meilach discovers the growing numbers of men and women who revel in lighting up a forge and shaping hot, malleable iron into beautiful, useful objects.

Blacksmiths today make both monumental and modest architectural accompaniments, from public art to an infinite number of items we encounter every day. With this book, you will gain an appreciation of the medium and its creators. Smiths will find the book a great source of inspiration and ideas.

Over 480 color photographs highlight objects for indoor and outdoor use, including fences, railings, gates, doors, sculpture, furniture, lighting fixtures, candleholders, and more. Some are truly ‘modern’ in style while others are inspired by historical references, such as Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Craftsman, and Victorian styles.

Today’s blacksmiths, designers, artists, and homeowners will find unparalleled inspiration for creating unique yet practical surroundings.
