Lance Zeigler

 

I am a self-taught artist blacksmith living in the beautiful North Georgia mountains with my wife and our six children. What began as a personal passion has grown into a full-time profession and family business, where each of us contributes in some way to the craft and the work of the forge.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my knowledge with others as an instructor at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina, teaching countless students the timeless art of blacksmithing.

Working from my home forge, I create pieces that are both functional and artistic, always striving to blend traditional techniques with creative expression. I welcome custom projects and collaborations—my favorite work often comes from bringing someone’s unique idea to life.

I am always open to new challenges, so let’s work together and create something truly amazing.
