Chalk Pit Forge in Amberley Museum, West Sussex, has been run by Alex Smith BA (in Artist Blacksmithing) since 2008. Here, Alex makes bespoke sculptural and functional pieces for clients who require individuality, quality and longevity.

The piece is then made by Chalk Pit Forge and installed at the client's premises within an agreed time. Commissions are accepted from clients anywhere in the world.
