At Watermark Designs, our Artist Blacksmith creates art for your home, cabin or office. Using a blend of traditional and modern blacksmithing techniques, he produces 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.  

A project starts with the design process; we meet with our clients, conduct site visits and research if necessary and produce scaled drawings prior to the final process of putting hammer to anvil.  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.
