Who Are We?

How it all started

Rich’s journey into blacksmithing began at St David’s College in Llandudno, where he first discovered his passion for the craft. He continued to hone his skills by attending the Herefordshire College of Blacksmithing. After completing his studies in 1998, he embarked on a journeyman’s path, gaining valuable experience in Gdansk, Poland, and later in France.

Returning to his native Wales, Rich worked as an apprentice blacksmith in Halkyn, North Wales, before establishing Heat and Beat in 2000. His artistic vision draws inspiration from the organic shapes found in nature, which he skillfully combines with his appreciation for geometric forms and structural design.

At Heat and Beat, we prioritize close collaboration with our clients, guiding them from the initial concept and design phase through to the final installation. Our portfolio encompasses a diverse range of projects, spanning from public art commissions to crafting bespoke gates, railings, and restoration work.

We are proud members of The Worshipful Company Of Blacksmiths and hold full qualifications from the City and Guilds of London Institute, ensuring our expertise and competence in all aspects of blacksmithing.

I can't believe how good this firm is. I called in with an engineering problem and they sorted it straight away. They couldn't have been more helpful. Very skilled chaps.
