Gain inspiration from the metalwork found throughout the
Bryn Athyn Historic District — from intricate keys, to monel
metal screens, to handcrafted doors. Then, try your hand at the
ancient craft of blacksmithing. In this project-based course, you
will learn the basics of forging from master craftsman Warren
Holzman, and then make one or two projects, ranging from
simple furniture to ornamental work.

Warren Holzman studied sculpture under Phoebe Adams at
Kutztown University, where he received his BFA in 1994. He
was awarded blacksmithing assistantships at Peters Valley
Craft Center and the Penland School of Crafts, and he has
worked as an industrial fabricator, refining his metalworking
skills and dedicating himself to his craft. In 2000, Warren
opened the Iron Studio Ltd., a custom blacksmithing shop

in Philadelphia known for its high-level craft. Warren was
recently commissioned by the City of Philadelphia to build a
piece of site-specific public art for Hawthorne Park in South
Philadelphia. He has served as an adjunct sculpture and large
metals teacher at Moore College of Art and Design, and

he teaches forging at Bryn Athyn College and University of
Pennsylvania.
