The Belgian blacksmith brothers
- • Steven and Brecht were inspired in their father’s forge
- • They call for recognition to keep their craft alive
- • They make all their own tools
The Dujardyn brothers Steven and Brecht picked up a passion for the age-old craft of blacksmithing when they were children. The spark ignited in the small forge where their father, Wilfried, restored his collection of old carriages. “The image of a blacksmith using his muscle power to shape the red-hot iron may seem nostalgic, but it is very much a reality for us,” say the two brothers. To master traditional techniques, both of them enrolled in blacksmith training programmes when they were only 15 years old. In 2001, after completing their training, they set up their own traditional artisan forge, called Dujardyn Artconcept. Brecht and Steven had the ambition to create designs that blend in with the existing environment or architecture. “The best compliment that we can receive is that our ironwork does not stand out, but that it harmoniously blends in with its surroundings.”
