    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

Having started blacksmithing in 1978, I have developed a wide ranging and extensive portfolio. I am best known for my lamps with blown glass shades, but also make funcitonal work for the kitchen, bath and home in general. I also forge railings.

My personal style is organic in nature, but I enjoy working with clients to develop pieces that reflect their personality and interests, no matter the style.

    My fireplace screen turned out so beautifully! It looks EXACTLY like my inspiration photo based on a restoration hardware style design, but made exactly to the size of my fireplace opening. Roberta was great to work with and I'd use her again in a heartbeat!!

    Working with Roberta was a pleasure. She patiently and politely dealt with my ignorance regarding proper measuring methods. The fireplace screen arrived ahead of schedule and fits perfectly. It is extremely well made and attractive. I recommend The Velvet Hammee and Roberta with no reservations. Larry
