In today’s conversation, I’m going to be visiting the historic studio of artisan blacksmith Lisa Wisdom. Lisa’s 250-year-old forge is based on the site of a disused granite quarry at Trevone, and it’s from here that you’ll find her creating beautifully rich and rusty landscapes from the metal scraps she finds around her.

I speak to Lisa about how she found her path, her journeyman experience and the discovery of the ancient Forge in which she now works and lives with her husband David.

Lisa is currently the only professional woman blacksmith in Cornwall and she tells me how she set up the Cornish blacksmith collective, a now thriving group of blacksmiths, metalworkers and enthusiasts that meet monthly to share skills, advice and support.
