Katie Ventress

I am Katie, an Award Winning Artist Blacksmith based on the Yorkshire Coast.

I create Hand forged and fabricated metal artwork suitable for the home and public.

Often Inspired by the local flora and fauna, I like to take cold, hard steel and use it to create living, warm, organic forms.

I have been blacksmithing full time for almost 15 years.
