She-Weld: Brooklyn blacksmith forges path for women artisans

The art of blacksmithing is alive and well, and Marsha Trattner is one of the great keepers of the flame, forging a new path for women artisans. She runs She-Weld, her studio based in Red Hook, Brooklyn, in a warehouse whose roots in blacksmithing go back to the 19th century. Trattner has found countless practical applications for her art and a diverse set of clients. You may well have tossed a coffee cup into one of her works or gripped a beautiful handrail she forged into existence. "It's literally hit the iron wall while it's hot, you can transform it just by heating it up and hammering on it. It's like a natural growth. The forms often mimic nature, as well," Trattner said. "Blacksmithing is a very physical thing, but its also relaxing in a strange way," she explains in the video from ABC's Localish.
