Meet the Team
Black Mountain Ironworks is a husband-and-wife studio in Black Mountain, NC, founded in 1993 by Dan and Tekla. Dan, a former blacksmith who shoed horses, and Tekla, a designer who welded scrap metal into sculpture, combined their skills to create custom ironwork for homes and gardens. Based at 203 Padgettown Road since 2000, the studio features an outdoor sculpture garden and a showroom where visitors can watch the artists work. They source materials from local steel suppliers and hand-hammer each piece over an open fire, creating items like driveway gates, handrails, fire screens, and garden sculptures. Their award-winning work emphasizes fine craftsmanship and durability, with designs shaped by customer input. The studio remains a family-run operation, with Dan and Tekla still hammering in their separate studios, living out their shared passion for metal art.

Common Questions
What types of custom metal fabrication do you offer for homes in Black Mountain?
We specialize in hand-forged ironwork for residential properties, including driveway gates, handrails, fire screens, and garden sculptures. Each piece is custom-designed and hammered over an open fire in our studio. We work closely with homeowners to create functional art that matches their style and lasts for generations.
How do you help Black Mountain residents with fencing that suits the local landscape and climate?
Our driveway gates and fences are built to withstand the mountain weather, using heavy-gauge steel sourced from local suppliers. We design each gate to complement the natural terrain, whether you live near the Blue Ridge Parkway or in a neighborhood like Lake Tomahawk. The hand-forged construction resists rust and stands up to wind and moisture, ensuring a lasting fit for the area.
Can I visit your studio to see examples of your work before commissioning a project?
Absolutely. Our studio at 203 Padgettown Road includes a large outdoor sculpture garden and a showroom where you can view finished gates, railings, and sculptures. You can also watch Dan and Tekla working through the studio window. We welcome visitors to explore the work and discuss custom projects with us directly.
