Something Special in Metal
Bespoke Ornamental and Functional Ironwork for Home and Garden
Colleen du Pon Metal Sculptor and Artist Blacksmith
Originally from Canada and now living in Bridport, West Dorset on England’s Jurassic Coast.
She earned a BA in Silversmithing and Metalwork at Camberwell College of Arts in London where she enrolled to pursue her dream of becoming a Jeweller, but fell in love with Blacksmithing and working hot iron and spent most of her time at the forge and anvil. She was awarded the Bruce Church Travel Scholarship in 2002 and has travelled extensively, working directly with nomadic Blacksmiths in India. Colleen has been working as an Artist Blacksmith and Metal Sculptor since 2007. Colleen started a shop on Etsy in 2012, and has since run a successful online gift store there, as well as exhibiting nationwide at Sculpture Exhibitions.
Colleen produces a range of work, blending forging with hand, hammer and anvil, with contemporary metalworking processes to create works in mild steel, from functional items to sculpture and architectural work to commission.
Workshop visits can be arranged, but do contact her first to make an appointment.
