L. Joel Sanderson
Artist bio Joel Sanderson has been creating beauty with iron all his life. Through a life-long fascination for the working of hot iron, he has developed unique methods of manipulation for this age-old medium. Working in a facility equipped with belt driven machinery over a hundred years old, Joel has combined the most successful methods of the past with new inventive approaches for working iron, the most versatile of all material. Joel's career began when he was thirteen years old, when he overhauled his great grandfather's 19th century forge and first actively pursued his curiosity for hot metal. Every free day, every available evening, Joel was found by the forge fire, heating iron, experimenting, learning. Even during his college years, when he was briefly distracted by a teaching career, Joel spent all the time he could learning to form metal: metallurgy and jewelry in the classroom, weekends and vacation by the fire. In 1993, Joel decided to abandon all other distraction
