Steeling Home, initially an artist run co-op, was created in 1993 as a venue to showcase local work. When it first opened in 1993 on 11th street the focus was on creating hand-forged iron and steel – hence the name. Under the direction of the original artist, the store evolved to include a wide array of beautiful, interesting and practical wares/objects...to add wit and whimsy to a home, sparkle to a finger, and books to keep you company. The store moved to its current location in 2009 and became part of Calgary's 17th Avenue shopping experience.
