Brubaker Jack Brubaker has been a full-time
artist-blacksmith since 1970. He has exhibited extensively in North

Blacksmith Association of North America (ABANA) and the British
Artist Blacksmith Association (BABA), He has presented a slide lecture
on his work at the First World Congress of Artist Blacksmiths in
Aachen, Germany. In 1984 he served ABANA as president and has been

His kinetic sculpture was included in the Friedrichshafen Exhibition
of Forged Sculpture in Germany. Jack's work is in many collections,
including those of Joseph Hirshhorn, Ali McGraw and others.
Jack
holds BFA and MFA degrees in art from Syracuse and Indiana Universities
where he studied painting, printmaking, photography and art history.
As a child he studied at The Art Institute of Chicago. However,
his most important education came from within his family. He began
studying oil painting and drawing at the age of five with his grandmother,
Mary Brubaker, a respected Chicago painter. His great-aunt Edith
Keith was a bowl turner and painter, and his aunt Miriam McGrew
was a painter and silversmith. Jack grew up in his grandfather's
and father's wood and metal shops, watching them create useful objects
that grew out of a basic belief that they could invent and build
better goods than were available in stores. Their interest in designing
new ways of doing things continues in Jack's forge where he builds
many of his own tools and machines.
Metal Choice & Cup's Color Choice: (click to see the sample)
All candleholders are available in black, pewter or bronze finishes. The
lily cup insert for your candleholder can be one of twelve different
colors. Please indicate when you order which finish and color you would
like.
Metal
Choice (Finishes) Bronze pieces are forged from a high-quality marine-grade bronze.
Solid bronze which we polish to give the surface highlights that sparkle
gold. This bronze will mellow but won't turn blue or green. These pieces
can even be kept outdoors! A light scrubbing with 60 grit sandpaper or
scotchbrite pad every 2 or 3 years refurbishes the highlights.
Pewter
pieces are forged steel that has most of the black removed, leaving a
look that combines subtle silver highlights with the black and grey present
in natural steel. A clear finish is sprayed on to prevent rust and makes
for easy cleaning.
Black
pieces are forged from steel, then powder coated black in our own
powder coating room. This finish is extremely resistant to rust and is
easy to clean and maintain.
