JE METAL DESIGN

My practice focuses on the medium of forged steel, making objects which are comprised of hot forged components which are then joined together using either rivets or other traditional techniques.

I aim to create a sense of elegance in the relatively cold and heavy material by heating the steel it to a plastic state to form shapes which are not possible in other materials or through other processes

I enjoy working together with a client to create a peice of work that is not only functional but also unique and intriguing in its form.

Blacksmithing has been a part of my life since the age of 13 after watching a master smith in his workshop. After finishing my A-levels I went on to study Artist Blacksmithing (BA) at Hereford College of Arts (2016-2019) and began setting up the workshop which I have now worked from full time since graduating.

Based in the West Midlands, Herefordshire.
