Conrad Hicks - Unlocking Beauty - Blacksmith

The documentary film project, Capetown Legends, described Conrad
Hicks as “an artist, self-taught master blacksmith and
conservationist that is merging many worlds in his distinctive
work.” Based in Capetown, S Africa, Conrad specializes in
hand-forged metalwork to produce his sculptures and architectural
and interior design projects. His forge is housed in The Bijou,
an old Art Deco cinema, which he bought and began restoring in
1998. Conrad asserts “that all traditional blacksmithing jointing
methods have innate metaphorical meaning adding to the final
symbolic meaning of the finished form.” His
much-sought-after designs are as beautiful as they are
functional and energetically magical.
