Detail of La Pedrera’s wrought iron balconies with marine motifs

Wrought iron is heated, hammered, and composed like music. Artisans shape scrolls, tendrils, and nets; then pieces are assembled onto the façade.


Techniques

  • Forging: create curves and textures.
  • Riveting: join elements securely.
  • Patination: protect and tone the surface.

Reading Imagery

  • Sea plants, anchors, and storms animate the stone waves.
