" Blacksmith Sandra Dunn studied Fine Arts at the University
of Waterloo and began blacksmithing in 1996. Incorporating traditional
blacksmithing techniques such as forge welding, riveting and
mortise and tenon joinery, her work reflects a deep interest
in the gestures recorded by material that has been worked by
hand."
Full time blacksmith since the early 1990's, Sandra operates
Two Smiths, a business that designs and builds architectural
features in a variety of metals and styles. From restoration
work to contemporary sculpture,projects often involve collaboration
with architects, artists and other manufactures and include
a stainless steel bicycle powered wind instrument for Open Ears
Festival, bronze clad Art Deco entrance doors for the Registry
Theatre, a curved copper wall in a Manhatten loft and a Baroque
iron railing in Bornholme, ON.
Sandra has been a featured demonstrator
at earlier CanIRON's : Ness Creek, Saskatchewan (2009) and Hamilton,
Ontario (2005)
