Artist introduction! Meet Mike Izatt of Three Anvil Forge!✨
“Working with my hands has been a lifelong passion. From carving wood and turning bowls on a lathe to designing and building boats, I have always been drawn to creating objects that are both beautiful and built to last.
My journey eventually led me to metal, where years of experience in metal fabrication, welding, and tool and die making gave me the skills to shape steel with precision and purpose. Today, I combine those skills with traditional blacksmithing techniques to create heirloom-quality cookware, knives, and unique handcrafted pieces.
Every piece begins as raw steel, heated in the glow of a gas forge and carefully forged by hand with hammer, anvil, and hydraulic press. Fire, steel, and time transform simple materials into objects with character, strength, and lasting beauty.
No two pieces are ever exactly alike. The subtle marks left by the forging process are a testament to the hands that shaped them, making each piece truly one of a kind. My goal is to create functional works of art that are meant to be used every day, grow richer with age, and become treasured heirlooms for generations to come.”
