B. Norris Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 While in college I worked for two summers at Yale University in New Haven. I used to love walking around campus and looking at the old buildings. I especially admired all the ironwork. Years later I learned that it had been commissioned from Samuel Yellins shop. Beautiful stuff. Brilliant use of materials and patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Barter Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I don't understand. I thought that the Samuel Yellin shop had closed its doors and given all the tools to George Dixon with the caveat of sharing the techniques with others. Is it still in operation? rvb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWooldridge Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Rick, It looks like dated material. I don't see any indication of updates since 2003 so might just be their calling card though I can't tell for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Waugh Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 As of 2004, the Yellin shop was in business at the address shown on the site. It is actually Pete Renzetti's shop, I believe. He and Claire Yellin are working together to keep the Yellin tradition alive, and there is a young smith working with Pete who is really terrifically good. I saw some truly amazing work there.
