Items on this page are created using traditional techniques: iron and fire, anvil and hammer. The blacksmith tradition dates back over 5,000 years and until the industrial revolution smiths were the ones to create, repair and improve the tools of daily life. When a functional design was achieved, smiths used their skills to add beauty. My anvil was forged by Mouse Hole Forge of M. & H. Armitage & Co. in Sheffield, England in the late 1700’s. It’s a constant reminder of blacksmiths throughout history blending form and function.
