Welcome to Pycox Forge

Traditional Ironwork. Contemporary Craftsmanship.

Welcome to Pycox Forge. We are a couple-run blacksmithing company, who are passionate about crafting high-quality, handmade ironwork using time-honoured techniques and modern craftsmanship. Nestled at Harts Barn Craft Centre on the edge of Gloucestershire, we bring metal to life one strike at a time.

About Us

Crafting stunning pieces of ironwork

After leaving our previous jobs as blacksmiths, employed at various places across the UK, we embarked on a journey to explore different countries and cultures throughout Europe. The idea to run our own company first came to us over pizza in the bustling Central Market in Florence; a lively moment of inspiration surrounded by the energy of locals and travelers alike. We returned home with a clear vision and renewed focus: to combine our traditional blacksmithing skills with the creativity and inspiration we’d gathered from our travels, and build something uniquely our own.
 
Matt brings a keen technical eye and a deep understanding of metalworking mechanics, while Becca contributes a distinct artistic flair, infusing each piece with creativity and style. Rooted in tradition yet inspired by innovation, each creation is forged with care, purpose, and a shared love for the craft.
 
In 2024, Matt was honoured as the Reserve Static National Champion for his intricately forged oval well cover, a piece that celebrates the graceful movement and capabilities of steel. Whereas, Becca was awarded the Stanley Allcard Cup in 2022 for her decorative panel, a work that reflects both precision and patience.

Our ethos is simple: to create beautiful, functional ironwork that will last a lifetime.

Our Work

What We Make

From sweeping entrance gates to sculptural garden structures, our pieces are crafted by hand using traditional blacksmithing methods. Whether you’re after a one-of-a-kind feature for your home or consistent production for a commercial setting, we work closely with clients to design and build ironwork tailored to purpose, setting, and story.

Gates & Entranceways

Gates can be more than just entry points - they can range from minimalistic, functional designs to intricate, sculptural masterpieces that make bold architectural statements.

Railings & Handrails

We design railings and handrails that seamlessly conform to any landscape or architectural setting, whether it’s for the interior or exterior, we can adapt effortlessly to curves, slopes, stairs, irregular angles, and other unique features. Matching gates can also be incorporated into a section of railings for a seamlessly unified design.

Sculptural & Decorative Installations

We love bringing sculpture to life. Whether it’s a functional installation with a creative twist or a striking focal point for your home or garden. Each bespoke piece; traditional or contemporary, is thoughtfully crafted to enrich your space. From the initial concept through to final installation, we work closely with you to bring your vision to life. If you have a project in mind, we’d love to hear from you and help make it a reality.

Garden Structures

Transform your outdoor space with our expertly crafted garden structures and furniture. We specialize in designing and building a wide range of custom pieces to enhance the beauty, functionality, and character of your garden. This can include: rose arches, pergolas, trellises, well covers, tree guards and garden furniture, etc.

Interior Ironwork

Our ironwork is designed to create subtle statement pieces that quietly define a room. Whether you're looking to add warmth to a fireplace with a classic companion set or introducing character to your entryway with hand-forged coat hooks, each design brings a unique presence. From cabinet pulls to pot racks, our custom hardware infuses every space with a tactile richness that mass-produced pieces simply can't replicate.

Bulk Commissions

We're working with a top kitchen manufacturer to produce large-scale quantities from their product line. At the same time, we're creating custom garden décor in bulk for private clients. By blending hands-on craftsmanship with smart production, we're able to meet high volume demands without compromising on quality.
