METAL offers alternative Valentine's gift idea in form of everlasting flowers
BY LAUREN CASERTA
Looking for a way to say “I love you” that won’t wilt after a week or two? Stop by METAL this coming Saturday to watch an everlasting bouquet bloom in the hands of renowned blacksmiths Scott Lankton and Jim Roth as they craft flowers out of red-hot metal.
The duo will use a dash of wit, a sprinkle of laughter and a heaping helping of talent to sculpt their steel roses, which will be available for sale after the free demonstration. You can buy a finished flower or watch a request come to life before your eyes.
For those who need a little color in their lives, the folks from local floral and landscaping business Pot & Box will be around to add a splash of color or a sprig of green to any forged creations.
The magic starts at noon in METAL’s studio on 220 Felch Street. For more information, visit www.metaloffmain.com.
