We hosted an Historic Ironwork CPD event on Tuesday 5th May here in Larkhall and were joined by 70 architects, surveyors, landscape designers and heritage professionals. The Ironart team fired up the forges and demonstrated leaf-making, firewelding techniques, finial making and scrollwork. Some of our blacksmiths were on hand to answer questions and talk about the traditional metalworking techniques that we specialise in here at Ironart, and the restoration projects we have enjoyed in recent years.

Andy gave a 45 minute talk entitled “An introduction to conservation, care and repair of historic ironwork” which (despite one minor technical hitch!) was well received by everyone who came along. A powerpoint copy of this talk is available, please contact us if you would like a link to the file, we are happy to share it.
