The art of blacksmithing derived from the ancient artisan crafts focused on armor and agriculture, which developed into an art form during the renaissance period. The early techniques and skills were developed and passed down through generations, responding to the materials and desires of the period.

Today, there exists two kinds of Ironwork ~ Production and Artisan

Artisan Blacksmithing pays reverence to the ancient practices demanding

• Design with joinery methods that are asthetically pleasing and add interest to the finished work.
• Heating, hammering and forging to resize and shape the metal, drawing out the depth of character and developing the patina.

The intimate relationship between the metal, the artist and the process of heating, stretching, and hammering gives way to the creativity that merges historical techniques with contemporary ideas for metalwork.
