MEET THE BLACKSMITH
Emily — artist, maker & blacksmith
Emily is a Cornish artist and blacksmith who works with metal to create sculptures and decorative pieces. Drawing on her background as an artist, she combines traditional blacksmithing techniques with her own creative ideas and love of making.
Her work is rooted in Cornwall — its landscape, history, folklore and traditions of making. She is interested in the connection between people, place and the things we make by hand, creating pieces that carry a sense of Cornwall and its character.
Emily works in an historic blacksmith’s forge built in 1841 on the Mount Edgcumbe Estate, bringing her artistic practice into a place with a long history of traditional metalworking.
