Hazell Forged

Richard Hazell

Blacksmith

I take great pride in being an artist blacksmith, using traditional techniques to create hand-forged items at my forge in Belper.

I mostly forge with mild steel but experiment using copper, stainless steel and brass as well as wrought iron.

I enjoy making practical items such as pokers, fireside sets, bottle openers, hooks and door furniture, but I also love to make more delicate, decorative items.

If you’d like to start your own blacksmithing journey – pop over and have a chat.

You could partake in a “have a go” session during the Belper Arts Trail weekend or maybe consider a full day blacksmithing in my Belper workshop.
