Idahoan, former Oinkari and long-time California resident, Jon Sarriugarte (Boise, ID, 1963) is not a regular Basque. He is an artist, designer and creator. “I wanted to go to Jaialdi, but I don’t have time, I’m working on a spaceship,” he says, sharing information about his lifestyle as a blacksmith – or "metal magician" − who, following his dream of working with the “flexibility, durability, and simple beauty of iron,” made his trip to California and founded the company Form and Reform, in 1987. His field is original, totally free creatively that reaches fantasy with almost no limits.
