We are so close to finishing this two year journey.
The scope of the project pushed us into new processes and materials but the opportunity to collaborate this extensively with @motodesignshop is a real privilege. Thank you for letting us help materialize your vision!
My team is an amazing group of talented people as you can see in every picture above and I couldn’t be more proud.

Truly great projects seem to always test your mettle and I’m over the moon with the result on this one.
The best part here however was an opportunity to work with some very special people.
Thanks @shayconstruction
More to come later.

Check out this gorgeous all-brass banger we made for @studio_friedman .
Just a small part of a stunning design scheme for their project in the bucolic hinterlands of Pennsylvania
No detail spared,
Custom glazing profiles, operable vent windows, custom door and window hardware.
No shortcuts with welding here, just clean joints and proper lines constructed with exacting precision and love.

✨ Demonstrator Spotlight ✨
Feel the heat and energy of the forge with Warren Holzman. Metal forging is an age-old craft where intense heat and steady hands transform solid metal into functional and beautiful forms. With each strike of the hammer, you can see the material shift and take shape in real time.
Warren’s work can be found right here at Glencairn Museum and at Bryn Athyn Cathedral, connecting this living tradition to the very spaces around us.
At the Sacred Arts Festival, watch as he heats, hammers, and shapes metal using traditional techniques, offering a close-up look at the skill, timing, and care behind this hands-on craft.

I will always love these gates commissioned by the City of Philadelphia Percent for Art at the Discovery Center.
Forged and fabbed in weathering steel with stainless steel center pivots.
Just one of many public facing projects I’ve been fortunate enough to have done here in the last 26 years.

I want to thank the Philadelphia Museum of Art for including me and six other amazing Philadelphia artists in the their A Nation of Artists exhibition. It’s fantastic show and will be up for 15 months so come see it!
