Huntington River Smithy
Blacksmith James Fecteau uses forging methods that date back
to the 14th century to create
useful works of art that
are appropriate in a contemporary setting.
For something that is
created to last a life-
time, the way the
piece is made is as
important as the
way it looks.
As soon as I saw the dance, nuance, and simplicity, of blacksmithing I knew I had found my vocation. It was as though I had the knowledge in me all along. I have been drawing this knowledge out since then and each day brings new discovery.
I've worked in several smithies and have takenĘthe best ideas (layout, tooling, ect.) from them, and combined those ideas into a smithy with which I am vary happy. My shop, Huntington River Smithy, allows me to accept all jobs big or small, gates, railings, pot racks, chandeliers , fireplace sets, landscape art, architectural hardware ect.....
I'm a member of the Artist- Blacksmith's Association of North America (ABANA), VT rep. and member of New England Blacksmiths (NEB), and president of the Green Mountain Blacksmiths Association (GMBA).
