About the Artist
His background in large scale metal work, John has worked more than 30 years creating and marketing diverse metal pieces nationally and internationally. Best known for meticulously crafted knives, his work has crossed over into the realms of exquisitely executed copper roses, vessels and other forms, many of which are further enhanced with vitreous enamel resulting in a myriad of pleasing shades and hues.
Works of John Smith, Metal Artist
"Born of fire, iron, copper, glass and steel; inspired by memories of the natural world of my childhood, my art emerges into today."


Enjoying a career steeped in the manipulation of metal, and multi-media approaches, John is skilled in and known for:

  • decorative blacksmithing
  • custom knife making
  • pattern welded damascus steel
  • hand forged and heat colored long stem copper roses
  • vitreous enamel
  • art deco inspired copper forms

He particularly enjoys a multi-media approach to his work, combining materials and processes to create interesting three dimensional art.

Each work is identified by signature or logo.

John has also instructed classes, both group and private in bladesmithing, blacksmithing, pattern-welded Damascus steel, and the forging and forming of copper.
