Hello, I am Eric Shotwell and I am an artist blacksmith. I create functional and decorative ironwork, including trellises, furniture, and sculptures. My work is inspired by traditional blacksmithing techniques and contemporary design. I have been practicing blacksmithing for over 20 years and have exhibited my work in galleries and art shows. If you are interested in commissioning a piece or learning more about my work, please feel free to contact me.
