BESPOKE DESIGN
As an artist blacksmith I have learnt to design from all types of styles and visual sources, this enables to work with a client to achieve a unique piece for their home or business.
Brazier designed from leather and belt buckles I have been a blacksmith since 1998 and have learnt to design and make my work, achieving a BA [HONS] as an Artist Blacksmith. I decided to set up my own business in 2008 within Amberley Museum, West Sussex. Here I work to commission, making and fitting a large range of products that are made especially to suit the clients specifications and the location. Whatever you would like Chalk Pit Forge can make and fit the finished piece for you, using blacksmith skills and a rich understanding of design.

This Juliet Balcony has been designed to incorporate arts and crafts and art deco styles for a house made in the early 1900's. It has been made using traditional techniques such as mortise and tenon joints, splitting tear drop shapes and punched holes so the bars swell around each of the joins. The amber glass has been used to make use of the light entering the room on the inside and to enhance the metalwork and the colour of the timber. Copper panels are used to enhance the art deco style and the geometrical features that encompass this house.
Juliet Balcony, Sussex.
