At Watermark Designs, Mark, Cory and Justin Carlson alongside their well-trained team of craftsmen and women, create art for your home, cabin, patio, garden or office. Using a blend of traditional and modern blacksmithing techniques, they produce one-of-a-kind ornamental and architectural pieces. Every creation starts with raw metal stock which is heated in the forge and hammered, pushed, pulled and twisted into your unique, heirloom piece—no off-the-shelf components are used.  This is a process of creation, not fabrication (that's what welders do).  The end result is a uniquely suited, custom work for the discerning homeowner who desires something other than a mass-produced item.

The internationally acclaimed Master Artist Blacksmith Samuel Yellin (1885-1940) put it best:

There is only one way to make good decorative ironwork and this is with the hammer at the anvil. For in the heat of creation, under the spell of the hammer, the whole conception of a composition is often transformed.
