Trinity Forge

Working with materials regarded as everyday and industrial, Artist & Craftsman Blacksmith Adrian Stapleton strives to create pieces which are simple in design, exquisite in their craftsmanship and functional – a delight to use or look at everyday.

“Hot forging has an immediacy and directness, which leads to spontaneous and sometimes accidental creativity. The directness of the process is endlessly fascinating.” – Adrian Stapleton, Blacksmith

Security never looked this good

Adrian has just completed the installation of an 8 metre garden security and privacy screen for clients in Belper, Derbyshire. Impressed with the individual cala lilies Adrian makes, he was commissioned to design a screen incorporating the flower.
He added drawn down tendrils and textured blade leaves to the design to add interest and answer the brief. His clients requested a weathered finish, to give it that established look, this saw him experimenting with acids and oils - creating a beautiful patina. Delighted to have been commisioned to produce this piece, Adrian is proud of the result.
