Starting a Dream
Growing my business
My husband John always had a dream to be the next Philip Simmons, Charleston SC most famous blacksmith who recently past away. Myself I have always wanted to do something with my artistic skills. While the everyday grind of welding makes money for John it's not wrought iron. While having the drive but the lack of designing we met, and got married. I think we make the perfect match, I design and he taught me to fabricate as well. He refines his blacksmithing skills while I dream up more possiblities. Now or biggest challenge is the make a name for our selves. With help of our local contacts hopefully we can do it. Now John has become a memeber of The ABANA, Philip Simmons Blacksmith Guild. With high hopes to expand skills even further with endless possiblites, the sky's the limit!!!!
