Blacksmith metal art in Northumberland

Welcome to Six Anchor Forge. I’m Steve, a former Royal Navy Chief Stoker and teacher turned blacksmith. Get in touch if you’d like me to create something for you.

Blacksmith forging metal in workshop

I love making things out of metal

I enjoy making a wide variety of items, small artistic projects being my favourite, although I’ve also made tongs, hammers, fullers and axes. I usually make flowers, coat hooks, bottle openers, anchors, copperwork or any type of art project. I have previous experience in metal work and fabrication and, though I have attended some short courses in blacksmithing, for the most part I’m self-taught, building on my experience. I am a member of the British Artist Blacksmiths Association.
