Description:

the work of Artisan Blacksmith Darrell Markewitz of Ontario Canada. Here traditional hand forged techniques are blended with original custom designs to create distinctive objects for garden or architecture. (What is called 'wrought iron work' by some.) A specialist in the Viking Age, creating reproductions for Museums and re-enactors. Offering training courses various aspects of Metalsmithing, plus instructional DVD's. the Wareham Forge uses traditional blacksmithing techniques to produce items of enduring quality. Metal is heated in a coal forge then worked with the hammer to create forms and textures that no other method can duplicate. The strength of steel is combined with the warmth of hand formed copper and brass, resulting in pieces that are indistinguishable from artifacts from the past. Every item produced, from pewter button to custom railing, is the result of a blending of historic form, materials and techniques. Although often called 'wrought iron work' in fact today's craftsman works with modern steels! Artisan Blacksmith Darrell Markewitz brings decades of experience to all his work - at the forge, background research, practical experimentation and extensive teaching experience.
