After growing up in Pittsburgh steel country, Andrew Welton went to grad school where they spent a decade studying the archaeology of medieval blacksmithing (specifically, of spearheads!). Dr. Welton has measured and photographed hundreds of medieval iron artifacts in European museums, and they use this knowledge to create historical reproductions as well as historically inspired contemporary kitchenware. Andrew works primarily with wrought iron and iron they smelt themself from charcoal and ore. They love how traditional materials, forged with historically inspired design, connect humans across time and space.
