Stephen Bondi and Friends
Reception: January 8, 2005, 3-5PM

In the late 1960's the art of blacksmithing was on the verge of disappearing in the United States. In 1973 a group interested in this field met to exchange ideas and information. One of these individuals was Stephen Bondi (1948-2004) who studied at the Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia and Alma College in Michigan.

Stephen Bondi inspired those who worked with him as well as his colleagues who were eager to participate in this new artistic iron movement. Exhibiting their work as a tribute to Stephen Bondi are Michael Bondi, E.A. Chase, Toby Hickman, Russell Jaqua, Tom Joyce, Dennis Luedeman and Bill Roan.
