Live exhibition - Artisan Blacksmith, Wayne Wagstaff of ‘Art By Degrees’
Wayne Wagstaff - Art By Degrees
A qualified Blacksmith by trade, each piece is hand forged and assembled for that personal touch. We operate out of our workshop or from The Australiana Pioneer Village at Wilberforce NSW. Many of our pieces incorporate natural hardwoods taking advantage of their Australian grown beauty. And by combining them with the raw coldness of hand forged steel, these items are both subtle, yet strong in their presence. By using the time honoured practices of old, each piece represents the effort of hand forging hot steel into forms of useful art items. Blacksmithing is a tradition of passing down abilities and also of looking forward for new ideas, some modern practices can be incorporated into our products for the Art’s sake, this is the only time you may see a modern twist to our art. Our range of work varies from small souvenirs through to large purposeful household and building items. We make a range of products for general sale and we can produce your ideas or custom design.
