The dynamic team of designers and artist blacksmiths from Ratho Byres Forge work together as P. Johnson & Company under the supervision of founder Phil Johnson.Their work, both sculptural and functional,has been exhibited and sold around the world, and has won many prestigious awards.

Ratho Byres Forge is one of the few forges employing traditional skills and methods to enhance their contemporary designs,producing
innovative metalwork for today. Blacksmithing is a physical and elemental craft,demanding both energy and dexterity to breathe life and richness into the work.

The exhibition is a mixture of both sculpture and functional pieces, blurring the boundaries between the aesthetic and the practical.This body of work represents a recent departure for the artists at Ratho Byres Forge,who work mainly to commission,and they hope you enjoy the results.
