Tim Cisneros, born in 1956, is one of only a few designer-craftsmen to make his livelihood through working full time as a Blacksmith. Tim’s distinctive style has developed slowly and steadily over the years. New designs evolve from existing ones. As a result, his work has a timeless, classic look, its form following its intended function. His Architectural work graces many private homes, his sculptures enhance private spaces and his Furniture personifies the essence of hand made quality “My work has been shaped by the techniques and processes that I have learned from others over the years. I traveled to the Czech Republic in 2007 and that trip was a cornerstone in my understanding of the craft. The work that I saw there has been an inspiration ever since.” In the past two years I have begun teaching this ancient craft to those who are interested in furthering their skills especially in tool making. Blacksmiths, Jewelers and Metalsmiths understand that the key to their craft is in the ability to make their own tools. I can usually be found on my morning walk with my dog somewhere along the beaches of Northern California. Tim Cisneros
