Tables with Alicia Dietz Studios

in , ,

We love working with artist friends and colleagues. It’s just so satisfying to put your ideas together with someone who is like-minded as a craftsperson. Plus— friends! Win win. It’s also a great way to stay connected to our community and expand the variety of work we can offer.

Alicia Dietz is an artist and woodworker Kyle collaborates with frequently, building metal bases and structures to support her wood and concrete furniture. Here are two of their recent pieces in walnut and steel.

First up is a small end table combining Alicia’s waterfall top with legs Kyle forged in his “forest” style. The video below shows his process for making them.

Next up is a dining table in walnut built in a minimalist design with Kyle’s fabricated steel structure supporting the base.

Fireplace Accessories

in , ,

Fireplace accessories are such a natural fit for blacksmithing. After all, the tools are really just nicer, more finished versions of the tools we use every day. And we’re intimately familiar with creating safe environments around fire. Here are a few recent examples of custom pieces we’ve made.

First up are two modern built-in fire screens. This style is custom fit to the interior of the fire place, as opposed to a stand-alone fire screen that is set in front of the fireplace. These two are quite similar to each other, and we love how well they fit with the different styles of the two clients.

Next up is a set of fireplace tools and stand inspired by the client’s 18th century dragon fire screen. Our friend, jewelry artist Robin Grabinska, carved the prototypes for the tool handles and stand feet. We forged the tools and stand, and shipped the set off to the client’s home in Belgium. A fun one for sure!
