Leaf it to Me: Botanical Candlesticks
IRON – SPRING SHORT SESSION
APRIL 28-MAY 3, 2024 (4 STUDIO DAYS)

Addison de Lisle
Leaf it to Me: Botanical Candlesticks

Candlesticks are a great way to explore the sculptural potential of ironwork while keeping a toe in the functional world. This workshop will walk students through the process of forging botanical-style candlesticks that take advantage of the organic qualities of forged iron. Along the way we’ll get comfortable with using forge-welding to make visually exciting pieces from simple parts. Other blacksmithing techniques will include drawing down, bending, upsetting, hot cutting, and drifting. This workshop will be of use to beginners looking to develop their technique as well as experienced students interested in pushing their design skills. All levels.
