Chalk Pit Forge uses inspiration from the client's location to design artistic and unique pieces of sculptural/functional art that is made to last.
Take a look at some of my previous commissions below and in my gallery page to get a taste of some of the possibilities.
Please contact 07793679788 or e-mail- alex@chalkpitforge.co.uk for any inquiries regarding a unique commission.
BALUSTRADE
Mezzanine Balustrade and Handrail for a Sussex Barn dated 1680.
This historic building needed a balustrade sympathetic to its huge, curvy beams and joists.
Alex says, “I sat in awe and felt the inspiration from the building pour through my pen and onto the paper as I started to design this Mezzanine balustrade.
I drew wobbly lines that could work with the organic wooden beams and joists in the expansive space.
It appears as though the house itself is distorting the balustrade.
Joists pass through it, beams sit above it, the house interacts with the balustrade at every turn. The metal bends and warps as old joists push their way through.
MEMORIAL PROJECTS
Honda Arch.
Memorial arch for Maurice who died in 2017. He loved his Honda Legend, so I was commissioned by his wife to design and make an arch that has parts of his car attached to it.
Memorial sculptures, archways, metal grave heads, benches and any other item can be designed to incorporate a loved one's possessions. They can also have a plaque or something stamped into the metal as reference to them.
If you would like something made to remember a loved one, please get in touch and we can discuss what might be appropriate.
GATES
South Downs Gate.
This gate is placed next to the South Downs Centre in Midhurst. The hills reflect the South Downs. The Tudor house reflects Midhurst and the Eel and Roach reflect the river Rother.
And a close-up of the eel.
