BIO

Colleen du Pon is a transplanted Canadian now living in

Bridport, West Dorset, England. She earned a BA in

Silversmithing and Metalwork at Camberwell College of Arts

in London in 2002. Working since 2007 as an Artist

Blacksmith and Metal Sculptor, she loves the romantic,

physical and elemental processes in blacksmithing and

produces a wide range of work, from functional Homewares

to Sculpture and Architectural work, blending forging by

hand, hammer and anvil, with contemporary metalworking

techniques to create works in mild steel. Natural growths and

forms, organic and dynamic, are all suggested in her stylistic

interpretations of nature into steel. Colleen’s fascination for

the presentation of aesthetics, the beauty of nature, flora and

fauna, are reflected in her work which adorns gardens

throughout the UK and Worldwide.
