MARC MAIORANA
Designed and rooted in basic blacksmithing procedures, Marc Maiorana emphasizes the iron’s material values in simple, refined shapes. Open to metalworking procedures, his work combines traditional ironworking techniques with more modern, industrial methods–this produces forged ironwork (formed under heat and pressure), fabricated ironwork (cut and welded), or a blend of the two. Marc earned a BFA in Metalsmithing from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale and recently completed his term as a resident artist at the Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina.

Maiorana’s ironworking studio is located in Baptist Valley, Tazewell County, Virginia. The studio creates sculptural and functional ironwork for exhibition and commission.
