Elizabeth Brim, metalsmith

Brim forges pillows, shoes, aprons, tutus, flowers and rhododendron branches from iron with detail, strength and sensitivity. Through blacksmithing she found her way to link the gritty with the feminine, both parts of the Victorian world of Charles Dickens that she loves. Her non-traditional content allows her to be feminine within a historically masculine field.

Brim is slated to do a presentation at Society of North American Goldsmith (SNAG) to talk about women in iron. She is collecting images from all the women she knows in iron. She is the de facto spokesperson for the women in iron phenomenon and is asked all the time to speak.
