Welcome to Brown County Forge

At Brown County Forge, we’ve been making ironwork by hand and teaching blacksmith classes since 2015.  To date, Terran Marks the blacksmith has taught 1,523 students how to forge hot iron into useful items.

Collaborations with Other Metal Artists

We recently partnered with Microsculptures Charms to offer fine jewelry based on miniature tools. You can see sterling silver and gold-plated axes, hammers, anvils, and knives in the Brown County Forge Store!

Brown County Forge’s Metalwork Portfolio

See some examples of our work below and on the Portfolio page.

Wrought Iron Hooks and Hardware

From fire pokers to box hinges to door handles, all of the wrought iron hardware from the shop has a distinct, rustic look.

Each piece is buffed, smoothed, and sealed against moisture, but they all have that hammered, fresh from the forge look.

Blacksmithing Classes in Indiana

From 2016 – 2024, we taught hands-on blacksmithing classes to over 1500 students at the shop in Bloomington, Indiana.

Our focus was taking complete beginners and coaching them through their first blacksmithing projects.

Note: There will be no blacksmithing classes in 2025.
