Sundance forge - Bill Banker
Open Saturday and Sunday
Sundance Forge presents original designs for earrings. Some of these designs are inspired by techniques learned in the blacksmith shop. The horseshoe nail earring design is based on a blacksmithing twist. Free form bronzes are drops gleaned from bronze castings. The cowboy hats are forged from dimes in a die made in the blacksmith shop. The ear wires are niobium which, also known as columbium, is an element that oxidizes, in the atmosphere at a very slow rate which. This make niobium appropriate for jewelry and known as hypoallergenic.
