Great Bear Ironworks Featured in Freehub Magazine: From Terrace Wolves to Giant Raven Sculpture for MTB Association of BC
Terrace, BC – Great Bear Ironworks, an artisan studio based in Terrace, BC, is proudly featured in the latest edition of Freehub Magazine, spotlighting their exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to public art. The feature article highlights two of their most significant projects: the Terrace Wolves installation and the creation of a giant Raven sculpture for the MTB Association of British Columbia (MTB-BC).
The Terrace Wolves installation, located in Terrace, consists of several large-scale metal wolf sculptures, each symbolizing strength, unity, and resilience. These striking works of art have quickly become iconic in the community, serving as both an aesthetic focal point and a tribute to the region's natural beauty. Strategically placed around the city, the wolves are a symbol of the wild spirit that defines the Northwest.
“We are honored to be featured in Freehub Magazine,” said Steve Rogers, founder of Great Bear Ironworks. “The Terrace Wolves project holds a special place for us, but our latest creation for the MTB Association of BC—a massive Raven sculpture—is something we’re incredibly proud of. Both projects reflect our commitment to creating art that resonates with the community and the landscape.”
The Giant Raven sculpture created for the MTB Association of BC is another standout project for Great Bear Ironworks. Commissioned as part of MTB-BC’s initiative to promote cycling and outdoor recreation in the province, the Raven serves as a symbol of transformation, freedom, and the thrill of adventure. The sculpture is designed to inspire both cyclists and the broader community, encouraging a deeper connection to the natural world and outdoor sports.
The Freehub article takes readers behind the scenes of both projects, offering insights into the creative process and technical skill required to bring these monumental sculptures to life. It also highlights the importance of public art in enhancing community spaces and sparking dialogue about nature, culture, and shared experiences.
With a growing portfolio of projects across the region, including future installations in Kitimat, Terrace, Prince Rupert and beyond, Great Bear Ironworks continues to push the boundaries of large-scale sculpture, creating pieces that engage, inspire, and reflect the spirit of the communities they serve.
