Artist blacksmith
I take great pride in being an artist blacksmith, using traditional techniques to create hand-forged items at my forge in Belper. I mostly forge with mild steel but have experimented using copper, stainless steel and brass as well as wrought iron.
I enjoy making practical items such as pokers, fireside sets, bottle openers, hooks and door furniture, but I also love to make more delicate, decorative items. The latest step in my blacksmithing journey has taken me to begin running my own courses, so that other people can experience the same enjoyment and satisfaction as I do.
