Esther Benedict: Ester will create one of her wonderful line wire sculptures from beginning to end over the duration of the three day festival. She started her career as a farrier and developed her love of shaping metal by hand. Come and see her exciting techniques using a blowtorch, anvil and hammer and then creating the final shaping of the piece with a welder and grinder. Sparks will fly!
