Title
Steel Toe Studios - Hand-forged buckles and belts
Description
Steel Toe Studios is a design and metalsmithing company in Seattle, Washington. It is owned, operated and comprised of one Erica Gordon, a trained blacksmith artist and designer. The belts are informed by her industrial surroundings as well as other media such as cinema and architecture. Each piece is hand made using a variety of techniques from her different fields of interest, such as blacksmithing, jewelry and painting.
Great regard is paid to finish. Each piece is hand patinaed, painted and distressed, followed by either a wax or acrylic sealant, resulting in subtleties that express the intimate nature of this process. Erica makes her top-grain leather belts with a snap attachment, allowing different buckles to be worn with one belt. Erica's work will continue to modulate subtly as it is worn and loved, further enhancing the look of the distressed finish.
Steel Toe Studios has just introduced it's spanking new Fall 2006 Line - we've added so many buckles you'll need your wrists to wear them all. Enjoy them - we certainly enjoyed designing them!
