Iron Horse

Ironhorse Studios is an artist blacksmithing company producing contemporary metalwork. The traditional methods of blacksmithing - heating up the metal in a forge and forming it while hot are still used but are complemented by new techniques such as plasma and laser cutting and tig welding to increase the scope of creative expression.

Steel is a versatile material and when hot very malleable which lends itself to forms that fabrication is unable to achieve and although more labour intensive and hence more expensive than fabrication, the innovation, quality and attention to detail show in the finished product which will last a lifetime.

We undertake a wide variety of architectural, sculptural and domestic metalwork and public art. Most of the work is bespoke, creating pieces specifically for the client. As artists, our design led approach means than the piece can be integrated well with its finished surroundings at both an aesthetic and functional level. Copper, brass, stainless steel and cast iron may also be used and we can incorporate other media such as wood, stone, ceramics or glass.
