Ferrous Fox Studio creator Katie Ford is a metal artist located on Salt Spring Island. Much of her work is inspired by the beauty of the ocean and forests of British Columbia. Katie found her love for metalworking when she acquired her welding ticket at Vancouver Island University in 2013. She then expanded her creative horizons, learning the arts of blacksmithing and bronze casting in the Sculptural Metal Program at Kootenay Studio Arts, Nelson, BC. She has since worked for many years as a professional welder/fabricator, both in industry and the arts.
