Just before all the students arrive for the final day of Blacksmithing 101 I thought I show two of the common questions I get and the examples I use to answer. What is wrought iron and what is drop forging? Among the many topics I go over in this intro class I go over the production of wrought iron and it’s composition as well as drop forgings and methods of steel production and items made with those methods . You can see an overview of the course at www.Nait.ca .

Today's public Art spotlight lands on Respite by Shawn Cunningham (Front Step Forge). This gazebo is light and airy, and decorated with wrought iron vines and ...leaves and surrounded by roses in the summer months. Located in the heart of the Celebration Garden along the Sturgeon River, Respite is a landmark and a gathering space for groups and ceremonies. Enjoy these images that show the piece as it stands now and a few behind the scenes images from when the piece was installed nearly 20 years ago.
