Forged mild steel wall candelabra

I work in metals using a variety of techniques. The processes include forging and forming as well as pressing, machining and casting. By amalgamating creative design with engineering knowledge, I will combine elegance and precision to create unique tactile peices. I hope to continualy challenge the common belief that forged metal must always be dark and cold, blackened with polished highlights without color and often over embellished with hammer marks.There will be a strong element of innovation and I will constantly experiment to produce new effects and textures using contrasting materials and color.
