Great service
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.

What people are saying
Bruce Gray
For Ball top fireplace set
Roberta is very easy to work with and communicated with us from the beginning to ensure that the fireplace set we got was what we wanted. The work product is superb -- highly functional and absolutely beautiful. The set arrived today (well ahead of schedule) and is already being put to good use. More expensive than other "hand forged" sets on the market, but worth every penny to have an individual piece made with such a high level of craftsmanship.
SWScott Waxman
For Custom Wrought Iron Kitchen Sink Drying Rack
Communication with Roberta was great and she listened carefully to my requests. Together, we created the perfect piece for my needs. I'm very happy with it.
Alex Collins
For Forged Metal Logo Sign
I'm very happy with the process and the finished product. I have nothing but glowing things to say about my experience and the artist. I will order from this vendor again.
Larry McTavish
For Simple, Freestanding Fireplace Screen
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

Absolutely wonderful experience! Roberta of The Velvet Hammer is extremely talented and easy to work with!
