My name is Matthew Flynn, and I’m a blacksmith based in Wales, working primarily in general forging and metal fabrication. I’ve been working in the trade for over six years, and my journey began with a formal education in blacksmithing and metalwork — a foundation that continues to shape my approach to the craft today.
I specialize in creating functional, durable pieces using traditional forging techniques, combined with modern fabrication methods where appropriate. My work ranges from custom tools and hardware to structural and artistic pieces, always with a focus on clean lines, solid construction, and lasting quality.
What drew me to blacksmithing is the balance it requires — between force and finesse, utility and creativity. It’s a trade that demands both skill and patience, and I take pride in the process as much as the finished piece. Every item I forge is made with care, using time-tested methods and a deep respect for the material.
Based in Wales, I work with private clients, builders, and craftspeople on a variety of custom projects. Whether you’re after a practical item or something more decorative, I’m always open to new ideas and collaborations.
Thanks for visiting my portfolio. If you'd like to discuss a project, commission a piece, or simply connect, feel free to get in touch.
