“For over a decade I have worked to develop my skills as a designer and craftsman. My work is ever changing. In my studio I use traditional blacksmithing techniques, industrial equipment and creativity to turn steel into art. ...Although Jill is comfortable expressing the spectrum from traditional to contemporary, we can expect something in the Art Nouveau style at her demonstration.“ from The California Blacksmith
