Artist-Blacksmith
is a term similar to kunstschmied (art smith) in German. It
is true that education for artists is a never-ending
journey. In support of that journey, this site provides free
information about artistic blacksmithing; illustrated &
explained.

Candles of this period were usually thick. They
threw far less light than do candles today.

|
The candle would be stuck onto the spike, without
regard to seating it against the candle drip cup.

Blacksmithing is not defined by time period of
decorative motif. Blacksmithing is defined by process
alone.
