Hofi Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 The street exhibition in Stia Italy Conference. The them was '' the beauty of light'' The competition took 3 days from 7 in the morning to 11 in the night every 3 hours the competitor had to stop and change. The where 8 forging stations and around 120 works were forged. My student Kheir Aker won the first prize Photos posted in the IForgeIron Gallery > Blacksmithing Events > Stia Italy Conference more photos to be posted later.

Candidquality Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Congratulations to you and to Kheir. Looks like an interesting competition. "stop and change"? by this do you mean stop working on the forge they were working on and let someone else forge, so a 3 hour limit on what was forged. or after 3 hours they were to go onto another project that another smith worked on. A collaborative effort. from the math it seems as if each had their own project. Which piece is Kheir's in the gallery? For some reason I'm thinking it is the railing section. And how were the leaves and stems attached in this rose? I can't quite see the detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hofi Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 There Is Some Misunderstanding And I Want To Clear It Up Ther Are 4 Sections Of Foto's Sent 1 The Steet Show Exhebition 2 The Comepition 3 The Winner Of The Competition With Me And The Winning Sculptuer 4 All The Window Railing And The Other Forged Things Ars In Florence And Not In Stia. Stia Is A Very Small Town The Window Railing That I Hold With My Hand Is 800 Years Old Forged Out Of 11/8'' Round Wroght Iron -it Is Just Un Beliveable To Hold A Railing Like This In Your Hand.
