In the past a blacksmith wore many hats. He can be a tool maker, a farrier, a weapon maker and last but not least an artist. An artist blacksmith hammers hot iron on an anvil and creates beautiful artistic pieces that are either decorative in nature or practical works such as railings, furniture,etc...

Artist Blacksmith Jude Goodpaster resides in Truckee CA. Originally he is a carpenter by trade & built many custom homes in the Tahoe Truckee area but after getting inspired by some iron railings commissioned for his own personal home...he went on to take many courses & training to become an artist blacksmith. His dedication and passion for the craft have resulted in many one-of-a-kind furniture pieces, whimsical garden art as well as practical railings, handrail & gates.
