How Nature Inspires Wrought Iron Design

We hear this all the time…

People are always in awe over the exquisite beauty seen in hand forged wrought iron decor. They’re amazed at the blacksmiths ability to take cold, hard, lifeless iron and turn it into warm, beautifully crafted organic shapes that reflect the beauty of nature. A perfect scroll, for example, is demonstrated so wonderfully in the shape and structure of the nautilus.

Wrought Iron decor is available in a variety of design styles from rustic to more modern and contemporary designs. Wrought Iron creates a perfect balance of nature, fine lines and exquisite design in the spaces where we live, work and play.

Though the standard techniques of working with iron haven’t changed for more the 200 years, blacksmiths continue to push the envelope with new wrought iron design. Some of the most beautiful wrought iron decor is that of which is forged to replicate the textures and natural look that Mother Nature herself creates. The replications of branches, leaves, fruits and other natural items are so detailed it feels like you took it from nature itself and cast it in iron. As artisans, blacksmiths pride themselves on innovative designs and quality craftsmen ship. You’ll be able to see it and feel it in their work giving you a whole new appreciation for quality iron decor.

Wrought Iron Towel Bar

Yesterday we made an installation video for our visitors to enjoy and hopefully gain some knowledge from; however, this video making stuff is not as easy as it looks apparently…
The video is an informational one on how to hang a simple wrought iron towel bar in your bathroom. The towel bar was to be mounted on a small area of wall, just bellow some of the clients existing copper wall art and it was to be mounted into drywall. It turns out that even after careful preparation, planning and rehearsing we would run into a stud, even thought we marked them and told everyone in the introduction that we would be avoiding the one and only corner stud in this wall, we hit it. “Its not a bad thing,” its actually a good thing since ideally you would like to mount anything that will have stress applied to it into the wall stud but for us we had already told everyone that it would be a pure drywall mount. Oops!
So we kept filming a corrected ourselves but the video seems long and under panned so its launch onto the helpful tips and hints page of our wrought iron web site might be stalled. “The towel bar turned out great despite everything and another client was again supper satisfied,” just in case you were wondering.

Here are some more pictures of the most recent project:
I plan on making many more helpful videos for you and the rest of our visitors so that everyone can feel confident about installing their own home decor, whether it is curtain rods for the living room or hanging pot racks for the kitchen.
If you have any suggestions about video making and editing please share it!! I would be happy to hear what you have to say. If you would like an installation video of something specific or think people could benefit from let me know, we’ll make one for you and post it to our web site. You could even have your own home made how-to-video posted on our site if you would like! Simply send your video to me via email or conventional mail (USPS) and I’ll review and let you know whether it’s fit for the site or not.
