Everything made by Djohnson-ForgeWorks is handcrafted using local suppliers, and reaching out and connecting with local crafts people.
Handcrafted objects show the marks of the crafts person and the aesthetics being both minimalist and inspirations from wabi-sabi.

Founder - Daniel Johnson
Daniel Johnson (born February 17th, 1995 in Hackney, London). From when I was a kid I loved fixing and creating things, this translated through to my college work and lead to a degree in Artistic Blacksmithing in Hereford. Later completed a Masters in Contemporary Crafts and traveled to Tokyo University of the Arts GEIDAI, to learn about the metal working techniques of Mokume Gane. Now set up in Norfolk as Djohnson-Forgeworks creating ornamental and architectural ironwork, while also teaching the skills of a blacksmith in classes.
