Lanette Grelle - Forgeress Ironworks

I work mainly with mild steel. I heat the steel in my forge to add life to it with texture and movement in the material. I weld my pieces together with a mig welder. I hand cut out of 14gage steel with a plasma welder and I add color with an oxy-acetylene torch to get some depth to the art, then I add a baked on clear coat. I like to use recycled material when I can.
