Heron Fire Screen
This fire screen is derived from a design that was passed over by a client. I kept coming back to it and eventually made this as a Christmas present for my wife. For me this is a classic example of the ideal of the Arts and Crafts movement. It is an artistic yet functional piece with some Japanese influences in the design fulfilling a very western need. It not only keeps the sparks contained when there's a fire but looks good all year round.

Rising Sun Forge is a custom ironwork studio focusing primarily on the architectural market. Since 1989 I have been producing a wide range of products including gates,railings,furniture,custom lighting, sculpture, fireplace screens and accessories. I have worked extensively with architects, interior decorators, lighting designers, contractors and homeowners to create work that not only fulfills its basic function but enhances and integrates well with the overall design scheme.
In addition to traditional wrought ironwork I have studied a wide variety of design styles including Japanese, Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, as well as individual styles such as Greene and Greene,Frank Lloyd Wright, and Charles Rennie McIntosh. When you hire me I bring to the table a wealth of knowledge and experience to meet the demands of your project and enhance the beauty of your home or workplace.
