The Blacksmiths' Needle is a 7.6-meter-high conical steel sculpture on Newcastle's Quayside, designed by the British Artist Blacksmiths Association and unveiled in 1997 by percussionist Evelyn Glennie. The artwork consists of six segments, each representing a sense—with the sixth segment symbolizing the "sixth sense"—and features wrought iron objects with a maritime theme, such as mermaids, bells, and shells, created during public "forge-ins." Part of the Tyne Quayside redevelopment, the sculpture is an example of community-driven art that combines craftsmanship and symbolism.
