Steven Bronstein
Steven C. Bronstein is a self-taught blacksmith
whose work has evolved from traditional colonial
ironwork to his present modern sculptural pieces.
Bronstein strives to blend the primitive charm of
colonial design and the energy of more
contemporary ironwork. He utilizes the qualities that
make iron such a beautiful material by creating
pieces that are both rugged and delicate.
Bronstein earned a degree in biology from New York
State. He moved to northern Vermont and began to
develop his artistic abilities. In 1980 he established
Blackthorne Forge where he continues to celebrate
ironwork through all possibilities of design.
Care of your ironwork
This piece is made of forged iron with a finish that is
a 60/40 mixture of linseed oil and turpentine. To
preserve the finish, recoat occasionally with furniture
polish, floor wax, or the original mixture.
