Colleen du Pon is a Metal Sculptor and Artist Blacksmith originally from Canada and now living in Bridport, West Dorset on England’s Jurassic Coast.

Colleen produces a range of work, blending forging with hand, hammer, and anvil, with contemporary metalworking processes to create ornamental and functional ironwork for home and garden in mild steel.

She earned a BA in Silversmithing and Metalwork at Camberwell College of Arts in London where she enrolled to pursue her dream of becoming a Jeweller but fell in love with Blacksmithing and working hot iron and spent most of her time at the forge and anvil. She was awarded the Bruce Church Travel Scholarship in 2002 and has travelled extensively, working directly with nomadic Blacksmiths in India. Colleen has been working as an Artist Blacksmith and Metal Sculptor since 2007.
