Little Newsham Forge

A Legacy of Blacksmithing Expertise

Founded over thirty years ago, our forge has become synonymous with artistic metalwork and innovative designs.

The Artisanal Process

Each creation at Little Newsham Forge begins with a meticulous design by Brian himself.

We collaborate closely with clients to understand their vision and translate it into a reality. We work with both private and public sectors, crafting pieces that range from intimate jewelry to monumental architectural features.
