Metal Coat Hooks with a difference

Written by Juliet Fishenden
At Made by the Forge, we’re always looking for ideas for metal products, eminently practical and long lasting of course but in the case of our new range of coat hooks, artistic too. We’ve known talented artist Cindy Lee Wright for twenty years. She specialises in wood and metal sculptures and 3D wall art. We...

Country Living November 2023

Written by Juliet Fishenden
Inside one of the UK’s best magazines devoted to the English countryside, November’s Country Living, you will find a supplement with the nicely punning title of ‘Handmade Tales: Britain’s Top Artisan Makers’.

Tree Hooks for hanging bird feeders or lanterns

Written by Juliet Fishenden
Being British we can always rely on the weather to be totally unreliable, unpredictable and these days quite dramatic. But believe it or not, we’ve edged into Spring.

Candlesticks for the Best Dressed Tables

Written by Juliet Fishenden
Atmosphere isn’t only the air that we breathe (but we are still very thankful for that). It’s also the mood you make tangible in your home when entertaining friends. There is nothing kinder to complexions, visually warmer or welcoming than candlelight. While the only practical light before the invention of electricity, it’s since become...

The Forge ‘Shapes’ Bathroom Range

Written by Juliet Fishenden
Famous for its design potential, the bathroom provides homeowners with a chance to be different, an opportunity to reveal a playful side. You might say that bathroom design has very few rules so feel free to break all of them. For example, what might look out of place in any other room, may be...

New 16mm Curtain Pole Range

Written by Juliet Fishenden
I’d like to introduce our new 16mm curtain pole range. Windows are very idiosyncratic. There’s no such thing as a standard window. They need to let the light in but also have the curtains drawn to keep the cold winds out and the dark at bay. They can be huge in some interior spaces...

Forging a Poster

Written by Juliet Fishenden
There is a pertinent phrase attributed to no less a figure than Leonardo da Vinci that most creatives apply to their own endeavours. It is that “Art is never finished, only abandoned.” Deadlines focus the mind and often this is helpful to actually get things done. Being a small business taking care of marketing...
