" 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)
