"Icthus" Candleholder
Designed by Badger Village Blacksmithing's Administrative Assistant, Jaime Sundsmo, the "Icthus" Candleholder symbolizes the meaningful mark of the early Christian A.D. to current times. Carefully tapered, the "Icthus" candleholder holds a single candlestick with a bobeshea for wax overflow. Part of our portfolio, the candleholder was gifted to Jaime from Badger Village Blacksmithing and has a special place in her home.

Hostess to give aid in sending out the invitations and preparing for the home
event. As a Sales Consultant, they will also be the one who introduces Village
Ironworks and sells the products during this home event.
