Ceylon Forge Progress

Well I’m not ready to move any equipment in yet but there has been a lot of progress on the building over the past year. Here are the highlights:

To preserve the frame, I coated the exterior with Pine Tar from Sage Restoration.

IMG_3444

October 13 + 14

You’ll be playing with fire to create your very own garden ornament in this unique and exciting two day workshop where you learn both glassblowing and blacksmithing!

DAY ONE (3 hours):

Come and learn glassblowing with Kate Civiero at Infinite Glassworks in Eugenia.  Stretch, twist, blow and shape colourful molten glass to create an orb which will be the top of your garden ornament.

DAY TWO (3 hours):

Visit the studio of artisan blacksmith Dano Harris in Markdale where you will learn to hammer, twist, curl and weld steel into a unique stem which will hold the glass orb you made in day one.  At the end of day two you will assemble the garden ornament and take home your finished project.
