About Gate Foot Forge

Gate Foot Forge

Handmade in Yorkshire from Fire and Steel

Hello. I’m Owen Phillips – Artist Blacksmith at Gate Foot Forge.

…and it’s all been something of an accident! A background in Industrial Design and 15 years doing graphics is a strange route into this profession, but here we are. From a childhood spent tinkering with things, a love of machining and metalwork at school and an Industrial Design degree furthering those skills and developing design and visualisation techniques, I was all set up for a career making stuff with my hands. Then I somehow fell into graphics and spent a decade and a half sitting on my arse staring at a screen.

It was only back in 2019 when the hobby – which was clearly a result of an itching desire to make stuff – began to get out of control and accidentally became my job!

I sell and range of regular products which you can find on this website, or please enquire about custom commissions, large and small.
