We’ve been diving into our restoration archive this week and procured this golden gem! In 2018 – around the time of our monumental forge-in project in Parade Gardens ‘BathIRON‘ – we were commissioned by the Bath Preservation Trust: World Heritage Site Enhancement Fund to oversee the restoration of a landmark in another of Bath’s beautiful parks.

The Ironart team are over the moon to have been awarded the 2024 NHIG Award for Heritage Metalwork Conservation  for our work on the Edwardian loos here in Bath’s Sydney Gardens.

We were approached by a client with a rather unique and challenging problem – their wrought iron veranda was literally being ‘gobbled up’ by a huge old wisteria plant.

This week Andy, Jason, Matty and Olly headed to Hampton Court Palace to attend the National Heritage Ironwork Group ‘Tradition and Innovation’ conference.

In April 2024 the Ironart team were tasked with the refurbishment of historic balustrading on a Grade II listed house on Lansdown which is on the north side of Bath.

Last weekend some of the Ironart crew: Andy, Olly, Matty, Jake and James headed off to the Centre for Rural Crafts at Holme Lacy, home to the National School of Blacksmithing to attend the British Artist Blacksmith Association Conference and AGM 2024 – this year entitled ‘Expressive Metals’ This annual event is really well organised and a fantastic opportunity to chew the cud with old friends and contemporaries in the blacksmithing world from all over the UK, but also to meet and make new connections with a fascinating group of like-minded people.

This year we were delighted to be part of an important refurbishment project undertaken by the Bath Preservation Trust at Beckford’s Tower and Museum on Lansdown, a high plateau on the Northern side of the City of Bath.

The Ironart team were asked to restore this balcony balustrade which graces the facade of an elegant Georgian town house in Clifton Down, Bristol.

This unique pair of contemporary gates with side panels were made for clients with a lovely house just north of Bath.

We have an exciting update about Apprentice Blacksmith Olly Gooding.  We recently learnt that he has been awarded up to three years of grant funding from the York Consortium for Craft and Conservation to support his training here at Ironart.  The
