Metal work is a beautiful thing, and from Chippenham to California, forged and shaped metal is an essential part of everyday life. Everywhere we go in a day, be it our homes, cars, workspaces, kitchens, or the gym, the world around us is full of shaped and processed metal. Since the very earliest eras of civilization humans have relied on metal workers and blacksmiths for their tools and weapons, and the art of shaping and forming metal has been of incomparable importance to the development of human civilization, culture and technology all around the planet.
Decorative Metalwork
Modern production, blast furnaces and industrialised processes have made steel and iron ubiquitous, pedestrian and boring. As beautiful as it can be, modern metal work has lost something of the magic and allure that appealed to our ancestors and the ancient art of blacksmiths has been all but replaced by mechanised production. Fortunately, there are a small number of highly skilled artist blacksmiths around the country who are still keeping the art and soul of traditional hand forged metal work alive in the UK. Hazel Moore Artist Blacksmiths, Chippenham, are keeping the old ways alive and produce high quality, decorative metal work in their Wiltshire forge.
