David Robertson Artist Blacksmith

I stumbled on Metal Arts Guild by accident and am thrilled to be able to participate in this community. I have been an artist blacksmith for over 20 years now and make my living from my shop 3 hours north west of Toronto in picturesque Bruce County.

I devote a large part of my time to helping the blacksmithing community by teaching courses and supplying equipment. There are many articles on my website Ontario Artist Blacksmith that deals with metal work and smithing.

If on the other hand you are interested in courses I would suggest that you take a look at my Blacksmithing Courses Page. Although I have done some jewellry work in the past, most of my work is on a larger scale. The techniques are directly transferable, just a different scale.
