Process fascinates me. The movement and manipulation of hot metal becomes poetry when approached correctly. I use ultramodern computer-based machines, heavyweight industrial machinery and 5000yr old forging techniques and processes to carry out the tasks efficiently with flow and rhythm. My training is traditionally rooted with a very modern approach to the work.nI put my heart and soul into my work.
My ongoing artistic concern is about the building blocks of creation. The physics of hot metal and of the bursting force of life itself.
All the secrets are there to be deciphered. Consonant and Vowel, Proportion. The language of form. Form creates a sonic resonance. Through extensive calm deep contemplative thought, then sketchbooks, then the drawing board, I decode.
The work then comes to life at the making stage in the forge. The Artworks should breathe the form with energetic life and vigour.
My mission statement is to create Artworks that are tactile and physically beautiful that will stand the test of time.
I am Passionately driven. I specialise in Hot-Forging and Forming processes to create High End Contemporary Design. Predominantly working in Steel, Stainless Steel and Bronze.
I take full advantage of all superior techniques. I implement these with ultramodern computer-based machines, heavyweight industrial machinery and 5000yr old forging techniques and processes to carry out the tasks efficiently with flow and rhythm.

**Hello Hammersmiths! I have a lot of experience in the cultivation of artistic hand forging and related professions. The demand conditions in Hungary are dire, so I am looking for international opportunities to practice my professional vocation.
Since I communicate in several languages, I thought that I would like to join all kinds of projects, anywhere in Western Europe, or I would also take on contract work in my own workshop.
I am open to all kinds of opportunities, both short and long term.
Look for me!
I have several years of experience in the field of metal processing. I have developed my skills from metalworking to art, I work with corten steel, one of my specialties is rusting and patination of surfaces, then passivation. I made funeral monuments, grave crosses, grace objects and religious jewelry. I have invented a process that creates a glassy transparent coating on the surface of metals while preserving the original beauty of the material. You can see my outdoor works and creations in Hungary.
At the end of my CV you can see a small part of my portfolio.

Hot forging is at the core of what I do at Bringsty. I will design and make items to commission, for galleries, exhibitions and demonstrations. I will also repair and restore existing and historical ironwork, and make items to a client’s specification. The process of producing bespoke ironwork to suit the site and client is what I enjoy. Taking a client’s vision for an empty space, and realising their vision by guiding them through the possibilities and practicalities that hot forging, traditional and contemporary techniques can bring to items of originality and longevity.
