Spiral "flower" on rebar 

Ok, can't stand the snails in my garden,
but this one doesn't eat the veggies.

I just finished my Art Metal class last Monday.  Brooks Collier is a patient and knowledgeable teacher and I cannot wait until the fall semester to continue with metals classes. There is something so exciting about turning metal to a pliable red in a forge, bending, hammering and shaping it. Sharing a few photos of some of the practice pieces from class.
