About

Artistic Ironwork was established by artist and blacksmith Chris Moore in 2004 after returning from training in Europe. While training Chris was involved in a number of high profile projects including creating work for St Paul’s Cathedral, Buckingham Palace and the Ritz Hotel in London. Since returning to New Zealand and setting up Artistic Ironwork the business has gone from strength to strength working with some of New Zealand’s leading Architects and Designers creating work locally and internationally.

Chris is also passionate about teaching the craft of blacksmithing and has taught the art of forging to hundreds of people over the years running regular courses at his forge in Auckland as well as at the Yaldhurst Transport Museum in Christchurch.
