Blacksmithing Studio Rental
The Metals Shop features the first blacksmith forges and art foundry ever fired on landfill gas. The studio spaces were designed and built by Master Blacksmith William Rogers, a respected professional with over 30 years of experience.
Our three forges typically achieve temperatures of over 2000° F, running on gas being harvested straight from the landfill. The GEP foundry has been successfully utilized for several bronze and aluminum pours.
We are a proud member of the Artist Blacksmith’s Association of North America (ABANA).
Studio rentals include use of all equipment and hand tools, free fuel gas and access to the GEP gallery for product sales.
