 Brad Faris

Bradford Faris had a brief career designing pinball and other coin operated machines in his hometown of Chicago, before he traveled to Europe to complete his studies in Philosophy and German Literature. In Germany he discovered his passion for forged metals. Bradford came to California in order to follow his ambition of a traditional apprenticeship in forged work. Under the tutelage of Oakland blacksmith James Austin, Bradford went to work for Alchemy Metalworks, producing fine home products for clients throughout the country. He currently works full time as a blacksmith for custom commissions.
