HEATING UP!
February, 24th 2022
As the winter turns to spring and brings in the growth, so too does the spring hold growth for the Forge!
After finally getting in a crucial piece of equipment, and a hectic start to the year, It looks like there is a rhythm popping up. Many custom pieces will be coming out of the woodwork as they get sent to their new homes. The production pieces mentioned on my other pages will be getting their pre-order slots. and many more one off customs will be available as the year goes on.
Thank you all for your patience and patronage!

THE ART BEHIND THE FORGE
I am an Artist at heart, and that same passion runs to the core of every project I create.
Not only do I create tools but Traditional Media as well. I take on commissions and will regularly have pieces available throughout the seasons.
MY STORY

I am an Artist and Smith, born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. I have a strong pull towards history, and cultures that filled it. I have been involved in local re-enactment groups and also followed my own studies. I have been mentored by professional Artists and Craftsman, and keep a strong network of these individuals.
Community is incredibly important to me. That's why every experience with my Patrons, I strive to make as pleasant and personable as possible.
