Hand-Forged Liturgical Metalwork
In the forge, each chunk of iron can become an image of divine love — if only it will surrender to the heat, pressure and adventure that can give it new form.
Though a lowly material, powerless on its own and beaten along the way, it can point toward higher things.
In the end, the scars of its trial are revealed as the means of its change.
“Working with Evan on the design for our church’s processional cross was a source of spiritual nourishment resulting in an artifact that will journey with the souls of our congregation for generations. ”
