The Forge

Originally a blacksmith's forge at the turn of the century, The Forge has a sprung maple floor and large frosted windows which allow a gentle light and give a sense of being somehow 'removed' and 'other'. It is situated on a cobbled road, in the heart of Kalk Bay, in line with the fishing harbour and on the same road as the Olympia Deli.

Katherine Glenday, internationally aclaimed porcelain artist and owner of The Forge, wanted this beautiful building to be used for other art forms and creative pursuits, as well as her own. She believes in the transformative power of creativity and beauty and their absolute necessity in our lives and believes we forge one another through contact both inwardly and in our working lives.
