ERIC ZINER
Blacksmith
The son of an artist, Eric started moving metal when he was in high
school, and continues to create metalwork now, thirty four years later.
Trained as a certified welder, he then became involved with blacksmithing after several years in Oregon, as a member of NWBA. Eric found it more fun creating art, than industrial fabrication. His works have included architectural office installations, atrium ornaments at the University of Oregon, Fish sculptures at the Philadelphia Fish Co. and locally, fanciful home accessories. Maintaining a gallery, and studio on Deer Isle for the last 20 years, Eric has had plenty of opportunities for commissions, installations, and teaching. Now, surrounded with farm animals, an appreciation for the local fishing industry, and an acute sense of the environment, he finds endless inspirations to convey his stories through artistic metalwork.
