All Metal

Objects and structural work formed from metal at other than small-jewelry scale, chiefly by forging, one of the American Craft Council's own discipline categories. Belongs here: blacksmithing as a practiced craft and its landmark tools, the anvil and blacksmith's tongs, along with the smiths, forges and guilds whose primary discipline is metal. Does not belong here: jewelry and other small wearable metalwork, grouped under Jewelry, because the jury classification the American Craft Council itself uses separates them by scale and setting rather than material alone.
