-• Receiving a Blessing •-

Sometimes the biggest struggles and hardest trials that life throws at us end up becoming the biggest blessings. This project was wrought with all kinds of set backs, tragedies and obstacles to overcome. From the loss of a dear friend and patron who was funding the project to issues procuring materials to complete it, this project was a baptism by fire. Yet ultimately it has been a source of great joy and beauty that will stand strong and steady for all to enjoy for many years to come.

A sense of scale and some small detailed pieces. Thanks to for the glass flames over the sacred heart pieces, they turned out amazing!

Life has been crazy busy and taken us in a new direction so we haven’t posted in a while. Last September we installed this “Rood Screen” in a newly constructed monastery. It took a year to complete the project and is by far the biggest accomplishment for us here at Orthmann Ironworks.

More pictures and videos to come!

The hammering and shaping is physically demanding, but that’s always the fun part. The measuring and cutting, lay out and fitment can be the hardest, scariest and the most time consuming part (at least for me) when trying to get everything just right. But when it all goes together 🤞🏼 it’s often the most rewarding.
