Chris Shea is one of the artists I met while I was in DC. An artisan blacksmith, the Cornell graduate designs and creates hand-forged furniture, sculpture and architectural metalwork. And he’s a heck of a nice guy too.

I love the cast glass and steel cafe chair above. Shea shows us how he did it in this comprehensive slide show. Wow.

And take a look at a Tim Tate/Chris Shea collaboration - hot stuff.









beautiful work. I love seeing the concept sketch and then the end result.
