THE CREATIVE SPARK…

For each of us, the creative impulse begins with a vision. Before I can forge a graceful scroll or leaf, I must see it in my mind’s eye. Before the first hammer blow lands, I know what my iron bar will become…

To hone my expertise, I apprenticed for three years with a master smith, traveled as a journeyman to South Africa, Spain, and Portugal, and constantly studied historical and contemporary ironwork.

Now, what I have learned is at your service…

To help your dreams become reality, I offer:

CUSTOM DESIGN SERVICES

Drawing upon a vast treasury of historical work as a foundation, I collaborate with clients to create heirloom-quality pieces reflecting their unique taste and style. From conceptual sketch to finished product, I can help focus your creative spark…

DESIGN CONSULTING

If you have an idea already, but need help fleshing it out, or if you have a local manufacturer working to specification, my knowledge of blacksmithing techniques will add integrity and authenticity to your vision.

IN-HOUSE MANUFACTURING

All work is done on the premises by skilled craftsmen, ensuring a consistently superior product. Every aspect must pass my personal quality control inspection.

INSTALLATION

I install my work or provide detailed installation instructions whenever necessary to ensure that the final fit-and-finish is as meticulous as the ironwork itself.

ANTIQUE RESTORATION

Family heirloom, flea market bonanza, or architectural gem--I can restore your treasured pieces to their original glory.

MAINTENANCE SERVICES

Hand-forged ironwork, like fine wood furniture, needs periodic maintenance to look its best. I visit your site as necessary and touch up the finish to maintain the look you want. Available to Santa Fe-area clients only.
