Gallery - Sculptural Ironwork and Public Art


The images in this section of our gallery let you see how our ironwork can help provide a sense of place, a sense of identity, a sense of remembrance â€“ and even a sense of fun!  They also illustrate how versatile metal is as an artistic medium, making it a suitable material for realising an incredibly wide range of projects and concepts.
