The Ironwood Anvil Blacksmithing

Graeme Sheffield is a Guelph based artisan blacksmith who owns and operates the Ironwood Anvil Forge. Working from his private studio, Graeme draws on over 20 years of metal-working experience for each project. To forge original heirloom-quality pieces, Graeme uses a combination of traditional and contemporary techniques with tools that have been used over the centuries. Graeme’s forge work has evolved quite a great deal over the last few years to accommodate the requests of his varied clientele. Graeme has produced many custom items for his clientele, including sculptures, wall hangings, furniture, gates and railings, fireplace accessories and hardware. It is through his constant involvement in juried art shows and unique commissions that Graeme has been given the opportunity to explore his craft. His work is displayed in commercial and private collections across Canada and has been published in numerous publications.
