Lee Sauder
Bloomsmith and Sculptor
Here’s what I do for a living: I dig up iron ore, and transform it into metal by the ancient and long-forgotten art of bloomery smelting. Then I try to forge something beautiful out the iron I’ve made.
I’ll use these pages to share some of these things,
and some of the knowledge I’ve gained in
making them. If you’ve come here for the art, I hope
you’ll
read some about the technique for a greater understanding
of the work. If you’ve come to read about the techniques,
I hope you’ll buy something every once in a while to
help fund more research. You’ll also find a schedule
of events and classes, raw bloom iron for sale, some pewter
spoons, and the usual odds and ends you expect in one of
these places.
What's New:
6/28/16- I've begun to rebuild
this poor neglected site! I've added some inexpensive gift
items in the functional gallery, and I've updated the classes
and events page.
If you haven't been here in awhile, you'll
see many new things on the research page too.
