The CBA is a wonderful organization that shares the tradition of blacksmithing. It’s not often we get to have it so close to the Bay Area. If you have interest in starting, or want to learn more this is the event for you. This group will share everything they know and teaching stations will be setup everyday of the event.
I will be there with the Snail Art Car the Golden Mean

Ancient techniques used on a turn of the century design for a modern version of the hospital bed.
I hand forged each section giving this simple streamlined design hand hammered textural details. A hospital bed is specifically designed to facilitate convalescence, traditionally in a hospital or nursing facility, but increasingly in other settings, such as a private residence. Contact me for pricing or other custom metal work.

This Ceiling fixture gives off wonderful contrasts of light. The optical illusion of floating frames and handmade texture make this fixture both intriguing and beautiful.
This simple single bulb light with a Bakelite socket reminds me of simpler times before we had several thousand watts of light in every room. Turn this light on, sit by the radio with a cup of tea and enjoy it’s warmth before bed.
Hand forged chain take this simple light to a new level.

This show looks so good that I’ve decided to break my promise to never do another trade show. The Acre show is April 26-28 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
I’m really excited to see all my old wholesale customers and meet new ones!
One of the many things I do is run a furniture company called Form & Reform. I started it in 1987 after I moved out here from Idaho. I had experience in metal work from high school and learned blacksmithing though the California Blacksmith Association. I’ve really enjoyed all the years of running this business and the experience it has brought. I now can’t help myself to make a smooth to the touch edge on everything I make even if I know no one will ever touch it.
