Intro to Blacksmithing:

Tapered Candle Holder

Join local sculptor and educator Margaret Parsons to forge your own candle holder. A former artist-in-residence at The Steel Yard in Providence, Margaret has exhibited work in galleries and public spaces throughout New Orleans. Learn traditional blacksmithing as you taper red-hot steel and shape graceful curves into a one-of-a-kind piece of functional art.

No experience needed and everything is included. Just bring your creativity and leave with a handmade candle holder ready to grace a dining room table.
