Here at Crowforged, I strive to produce handcrafted, beautiful works that will last a lifetime. Each piece is fabricated in-house and I hope they’ll enjoy a long life in the hands of a person who loves them.
I work primarily in precious and base metals. I also make some stone carvings and the occasional piece in other mediums.
The other thing I love to do is to share my process and techniques. Transparency in materials and methods is one of my core values.

In any case, have a look around, and be sure to check out our social media!
