Episode 031: Elizabeth Brim

Episode Recorded June 2,  2021. 

Elizabeth Brim has an illustrious Artist Blacksmithing career that matches her colorful personality. She’s well known for turning the blacksmithing world on it’s head with her steel womenswear. She popularized a technique of using compressed air to make pillows out of steel and she also played an instrumental role in rebuilding Penland Craft School’s Iron program. Elizabeth has been an important part of challenging the established notion of who a blacksmith can be and what they do...and it’s much more than shoeing horses.
