Denise is an award-winning blacksmith. Born and educated in England, she now enjoys living in Townsville, Queensland, Australia.

With over a decade of experience forging metal, Denise makes small functional and custom pieces as well as stunning sculptural works. She was the first female to win the UK Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths ‘Champion Blacksmith’ in 2004.

“Blacksmithing is a true artisan art. It has history and tradition that goes back to the Middle Ages. Blacksmithing creates useful and beautiful things for people. The products can be functional or decorative, but always beautiful.

For me, being a blacksmith is a personal love affair. I create objects from the raw material. Each object has a uniqueness to it; they’re organic and flow, and the process of forging enhances and shapes my initial design.

I love producing an object from metal, the challenge of design, the fire, smell and noise that creates the object. I love explaining and showing customers how a length of steel is transformed by forge, hammer and anvil into the piece they want to purchase and I get great joy that a piece of me is taken home to be appreciated forever.”

Denise delivers bespoke artistic metalwork to suit various requirements in the home and garden. She sells her wares at local ‘makers markets’ and trade shows, but can also offer commissioned pieces. Each piece is individually designed and forged in her workshop, calling on her experience, workmanship, and commitment to quality. Denise’s work shines in the superb detailing, beautiful flowing curves and the high quality and durability of the finished product. Whether working alone or collaborating with other artisans and craftsmen, Denise delivers a product that can be treasured for life.

Passionate about this ancient and ever-changing art form, Denise is dedicated to continuing the tradition of passing on knowledge. Get in touch with her if you are interested in tuition and training.
