Metal Sculpture, Blacksmithing
The Imlach’s are metal sculptures who combine the timeless art of blacksmithing with modern metal fabricating technology. Wildly creative, the Imlach’s bring metal to life in familiar images of people, animals, and other creatures. Their pieces are collaborative works that get their inspiration from found metal objects. These refound metals become key focal points in their work. The Imlach's also produce functional pieces, their favorites being abstract candelabras and architectural components. They have studied blacksmithing throughout California and New Mexico.
Kathleen and Richard are owner operators of Steel Dog Metalworks located in historic downtown Sonora at 346B West Jackson Street. Their studio has a gallery which is open by chance or appointment. Their works have also been on display at various galleries and wineries in Tuolumne and Calaveras Counties as well as in Glen Ellen in Sonoma County. They have been heavily involved in the conception and organization of the Sonora Art Trails Open Studio Tour and are a participating studio during that annual event in May.
