Spotlight on the Seller...Lilliput Forge

"Some Things Are Just Best Done The Old Fashioned Way. Made By Hand, Judged By Eye and Forged in Fire." 


Lilliput Forge is the Passion of Local Artist Blacksmith Simon Reed. 

Simon Started his working life as an electrical engineer down the Yorkshire Coal mines (anyone remember them!), and then spent over 25 years as a lighting engineer. 

He took up Blacksmithing as a hobby just over two years ago and was encouraged by fellow smiths to exhibit his work at the Great Yorkshire show, Simon says “I was pleased to win two awards at that show and subsequently be awarded the prestigious Certificate of Merit by the Worshipful Company Of Blacksmiths in London “..for work of a high standard in the skill of Blacksmithing..” normally awarded to Blacksmiths of 10 or more years experience.

Simon’s work is varied but includes modern and traditional jewellery, Contemporary garden pieces, traditional and current pieces for you and your home. Recent commissions include a Viking and Anglo Saxon iron work for Leeds City Education Department and a range of “magical “ pieces for a fantasy film based computer game. 

I love to demonstrate the traditional art of the Blacksmith and do many country shows, I can be found most weekends at the Smithy at Temple Newsam House in Leeds where the public can come and watch and chat to me while I work. 

If you want to have a go yourself I also do a short introductory course that will give you some basic Blacksmithing techniques and you get to take home something that you have made yourself.
