Ornamental Ironwork for Home & Garden ∞2∞ Garden Forge
Betsy Cook and Jan Dishong each produce distinctive ornamental iron accessories for the garden and home. The imagery they express through their ironwork is born from the natural surroundings at their workshop in the rolling hills of Southeastern Ohio.
Jan’s interest in a myriad of art forms over the years has now culminated in her combined skill of traditional blacksmithing and welding. Her love of nature is reflected in the cast iron oak leaves and acorns which often enhance her designs.
Betsy has studied with various blacksmiths and in recent years has perfected her own style. She adds a unique dimension to her ironwork by incorporating media such as glass and wood. Her trellises, embellished with glass globes are enchanting in any garden. Garden Forge ∞3∞ Garden Forge spirit sticks enhance your garden with unique handcrafted shapes and colorful glass.
