Quality handcrafted objects.

Everything made at Daniel Johnson’s ForgeWorks is handcrafted using local suppliers, and reaching out and connecting with local craftspeople.

Handcrafted objects show the marks of the craftsperson, with the aesthetics being both minimalist and inspired by the Japanese art of wabi-sabi.

"Excellent training experience Making a Billhook from scratch"

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.
