Kyra will execute personal projects at the Forge and they will be documented here.
First up: Kyra needs to submit an art project for her classes at Temple as well as her intern work at Vinewoods Forge. It’s clear that she has absorbed the lessons from Rob and can produce steel forms with organic shapes. This page will show periodic updates on her project which is already well under way.

UPDATE: It’s finished!
