Sculptures

Bespoke artwork & Sculpture

Darenth Valley Forge’s artist blacksmiths produce large scale Public Art, for private and public clients across Kent and beyond. We manufacture all forms of ironwork in the public sector; working in many forms and structures such as architectural metal gates, bespoke sculptures- large and small – water features, pergolas & many more.

Large scale art works are usually a team effort. Rhys and his team of subcontractors work closely with the client to produce the article required for the desired location, ensuring that it is both decorative or functional. Art comes in many forms and styles and can be used for many reasons:

  • wall art to divert the eye away from a large open space
  • sculptures to enhance the area of situation or communicate a key message (perhaps a historical remembrance)
  • industrial pieces to communicate about the history of a place.

Versatile & Bespoke Service

Floral art & industrial themes are just a few examples of some of the bespoke ironwork sculptures we are able to produce.

“My favourite type of sculptural work is that of organic forms. Creating a natural form that’s going to last a few hundred years is always a pleasure!”
