Fall
Art Tour - 2001
The
beauty of autumn was celebrated with hot apple cider and coffee as visitors
entered the historic forge here in Merrimac this last October. With forge
demonstrations by Steve Hackbarth all weekend long, newcomers and old friends
revisited the ancient craft of blacksmithing.
Visitors from Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin were welcomed with the sound of the hammer ringing as it hit steel, forming intricate pieces of art that were appreciated by both artist's eye and onlookers alike!
The next annual Fall Art Tour is already in motion for 2002! Visit their site for more information: www.fallarttour.com
The
Latest From the Shop
The
shop has been busy working for various customers who commissioned Steve to
create custom pieces of ornamental metalwork for their homes! It is always
exciting to watch these functional yet ornate works of art take shape. Recently
created, are a wine cellar door for a couple in Ohio and a table base for
a customer's Christmas gift for her husband.
To read about these fascinating projects, how they originated, took shape,
and found their way into the list of "favorites" completed by Steve
Hackbarth, please click on the detail pictures or follow the links listed
