With respective backgrounds in construction, custom furniture, photography and art, Steve and Sandy Schoettle envisioned a business that combined their artistic talents, business savvy and creativity with their passion for entertaining and travel. Today, the Schoettles and their talented team of artisans are building just that – a line of masterfully crafted legacy pieces that focus on bringing together family and friends. Outdoor gatherings around a roaring fire and simple, meaningful traditions are the cornerstone of the Sea Island Forge lifestyle and one they hope to share with you. Since the Schoettle’s signature product, the Sea Island Forge Fire Kettle, made its successful debut at a Farmer’s Market in 2014, the growing team of talented metalsmiths hasn’t looked back – debuting new heirloom-quality designs regularly. Their thoughtfully designed products have been featured on the pages of Garden & Gun, House Beautiful, and Southern Living among others. Thank you to Sea Island Forge for being the weekend’s Artist in Residence.
