About the Artist:
Cricket Forge furnishings are designed, produced and finished at Cricket Forge in North Carolina. All benches and chairs are hand-crafted of 1/4" steel. The benches are fabricated, shot blasted, flame sprayed with zinc, and painted with a high quality two part epoxy base paint. This weather proof finishing technique results in a highly resistant coating that prevents oxidation. Benches are individually hand painted using a dry brush technique or air brushed. They require minimal maintenance - wash with mild soap and water to remove environmental grime. Items are palletized and shipped via common carrier.
"When the spirit is pervaded by a passion, an undeniably powerful life force is awakened within us. We become creatively driven, our dreams become more prolific and clear, we reach deeper within ourselves where the energy resides. We expand and grow as human beings with greater substance and integrity. As blacksmiths, this fullness of the heart keeps us focused, compels us to live, breathe, and consume all that relates to our personal passion for working metal."
