About Soulful Iron / Mike Gracia
I’m an artist blacksmith based in Wales (just over the bridge from Bristol). I trained in Blacksmithing at the National Blacksmithing College in Hereford in the late 1990’s and after a long break from Blacksmithing, have now returned to the craft. I’m a member of BABA (the British Artist Blacksmiths Association) and the Heritage Crafts Association.
I call my business ‘Soulful Iron’ as I believe every piece a Blacksmith creates by hand has an element of their soul that they put into their work.
I use traditional blacksmithing techniques to create both works of art and functional products, be that candlesticks or fireside pokers, ornate forged steel bowls or pattern-welded knives (often called Damascus knives).
Check my gallery or visit my small online shop to discover my past & current pieces.
Commission work also undertaken.
