Wendell August Forge
America's oldest & largest forge. I am so glad that they submitted their site to be featured here at HCC. It was such a pleasure to peruse their handcrafted works of art! These hand-wrought ornamental collectibles are so amazing. The company first came to be in 1923 and has been creating handcrafted elegant gift ware from aluminum and other metals ever since.
There are so many themes and designs to choose from. I was overwhelmed with delight while browsing the Wendell August website. I had to save save save so many nice pictures to show you all. There is a whole section on biblical scripture decorations. Sections for babies, Autumn leaves and the other seasons. Look at how beautiful and detailed the designs are. I really love the autumn leaf motif above. It has the one leaf that is colored while the rest is in silver giving it a black and white feel. Then the Love bird plate, what a special wedding gift.
And Speaking of wedding gifts, there is a whole section for wedding, anniversary, and valentine themed collectibles. There are Monogrammed items. Monograms are so elegant and add that family heirloom aspect to the beautiful gift. They have hand-worked plates, bowls, coaster, Christmas ornaments and even bookmarks. Like I said the selection is huge. There was so much more I wanted to share with you but I figured 10 images was quite enough - you really need to get on over to the website see everything for yourself!
They even have personalized hand-wrought picture frames. The golden one can be inscribed for a wedding photo I'm sure. And the bottom one - it's so wonderful to keep the memorable graduation photo of your high school or college grad!
Besides having a great website they also have 4 stores where you can see these beauties in person! Locations are in Holmes County Ohio, Exton PA, the Grove City Prime Outlet Mall, and their Flagship Location in Grove City PA. Free workshop tours are available during production hours in both the Flagship Grove City location and Exton, PA location, and children can create their own work of metal art for a nominal materials fee of just $2.00 per child. Everything at Wendell August Forge is designed and handmade in the factory at the Grove City location. They pride themselves on being affordable, yet maintaining quality through their unique American roots.
