Penland School of Crafts summer’s session 5 iron workshop with Hoss Haley and Warren Holzman
brought together a talented bunch of students with big ideas and
impressive skill. Together, the class designed, constructed, and
installed a new bronze and steel handrail on campus. The project
included eight custom supports, hours at the power hammer, 44 feet of
forged cap rail, and a whole lot of teamwork. We think the results are
just stunning.
Heat, patience, and an eye for detail make all the pieces come together smoothly.
The new railing is a big improvement over the standard blue railing it replaced.
