Blacksmiths at The Garden House AOH

Posted:9 May 2012

Today we’re highlighting three blacksmiths showing at The Garden House every weekend in May.  We love the way in which their work complements the garden scene, whether as plant supports or architectural components, both practical and decorative…

Chris Burchell-Collins works in metal or wood, making practical, fun or decorative pieces influenced by nature’s many wonderful shapes and forms.  www.blackandgreensussex.co.uk

Lorraine Philpott’s domestic sculptures focus on forms derived from nature, usually vegetables and flowers. Her naturalistic ironwork pieces can be used to support growing plants during spring and summer, but also provide striking sculptural forms through the bare winter months.

Lorraine’s work is made with mild steel; it’s rusted patina blends beautifully into the garden.  www.firleforge.co.uk

James Price is a blacksmith/designer; he forges contemporary metalwork using ancient metalworking techniques combined with the best of modern technology.  Much of his inspiration comes from the construction and joining methods that feature so strongly in the blacksmith’s craft.  His clients include architects, interior designers as well as private individuals who appreciate craftsmanship and have an eye for detail.  www.blacksmithdesigner.com
