myloh67 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 The telescope was for exhibition organised by the Irish Artist Blacksmith Association of which I am a board member. The aim was to have members exercise creativity, the idea was to have a competition with professional and amateur categories, and to tie it all in we created a theme, the Titanic. The results were diverse and exciting. All work on display had a paralell, all work was not known about until delivery and set up of exhibit. I hosted the forge-in and exhibition called "Titanic Inspirations" and made the skeleton of a life boat 4ft in length. This I prepared in advance. The smiths that came had to complete the boat over the course of the weekend. The work will travel for an 8 week exhibition to Titanic museum Belfast at the begining of November this year. This year is the centenary of the demise of the vessel and the musuem has a footfall of 4,000 people per day. The museum has a huge exhibition space and has asked the association to place as much forge work into the space as we wish. It's a great opportunity and we are well pleased.. Please find images of some members work from Titanic and a link to our facebook page for a taste of what we are about.
