Forged-fashion appearances and modeled serving skirts
A hand-built metal skirt becomes a living drinks display.
Ellen Durkan / Iron Maiden Forge
Artist-blacksmith Ellen Durkan rents handmade beverage-serving skirts with live models for weddings and parties, including round and oval glass-holding designs and a separate hors-d’oeuvre or dessert skirt. Her Iron Maiden Forge also invites bookings for forged-fashion model appearances at events. These wearable metal structures are distinct from ordinary bar rental or clothing retail.
