the Ironwork studio

At The Ironwork Studio we work with clients who value outstanding craftsmanship and thoughtful design in architectural ironwork.

“I like to think of ironwork as jewellery for buildings. Just as the right jewellery elevates an outfit, whether a subtle accent or a bold centrepiece, well-designed ironwork adds character, elegance, and identity to architecture. That’s why I’m passionate about it.”
— Bethan Griffiths, Founder & Director
