Daniel Freyne, a Scottish artist & Blacksmith with a unique journey. Trained as a blacksmith, his work is a modern representation of a timeless craft. It should be seen as a homage to the foundations of blacksmithing, yet a distinct breakaway from the romanticised notions of what a smith is and is not.

Born in Edinburgh in 1994, Daniel’s blacksmithing journey started over fourteen years ago. Following a rigorous five-year apprenticeship, he embarked on a journeyman adventure, spanning six European countries, collaborating with world renowned blacksmiths. After this, he pursued a bachelor's degree in Fine Art, specializing in Metal, from Gothenburg University, Sweden. His educational journey culminated in 2023 with the completion of a Master's in Fine Art from the same institution.

Daniel currently has a workshop on the outskirts of Edinburgh, where he works on a mix of sculptural work and bespoke architectural ironwork. His work can be found in several private collections and museums, such as The Victoria and Albert Museum.

Presenting a deceptive reimagination of iron work, Daniel pushes the boundaries of what is thought possible with his chosen material.
