Lucian Avery
Hardwick, VT
Traditional/Colonial
Lucian started blacksmithing to make tools for gardening and woodworking but was soon captivated by the blacksmithing itself. He is primarily self-taught. While he gleaned bits and pieces of the craft from many sources (old-time local smiths, other contemporary smiths, books, and a few classes) most of his learning has been through hands-on work and experimentation in his own studio.
He started forging full time in 1993, focusing on custom designed, commissioned
pieces. Over the years he has grown to enjoy making door hardware more and
more, and that is his primary focus now. Lucian has taught blacksmithing
classes at the Shelburne Museum and featured in "Modern Masters" on Home
and Garden Television. He is very active in blacksmithing throughout the
New England area and was featured in the "Anvil's Ring" winter edition.
