Wrought metals heated in the fire and formed with hammer and anvil are the root of works created by John F. Graney Metal Design, Inc.

The pieces join timeless blacksmith techniques with the technology of modern metalworking.

The traditional techniques of repoussé, die forging, slit punching, riveting and collaring are interpreted in contemporary and classic commissions.

The process of changing bar stock to finished installation involves client dialog and specifics of location. The ability to respond with designs in an appropriate style and budget has earned the respect of a wide variety of clients.

Graney has received numerous awards from art centers and trade associations. The work his studio produces explores the full stylistic vocabulary for ornamental metals.

For 18 years, Graney's clients have appreciated the detail and proper engineering he brings to each project.

Through collaboration with the client, contractor and design professionals, the artistic and technical goals are achieved.

A limited production of home furnishings, lighting fixtures and sculpture are available, along with large commissioned projects
