M. Craig Campbell
You create because you have to create. You like the feel of metal, you like the potential in metal. You like simplicity in your designs because the metal itself has something to say. You like the noise, the smells, the fire, and the weight of what you do. You like to open the doors and let people wander in. You like to talk about what you do. You never tire of telling people about the material, techniques, joinery and finishes. You like to teach. You want to learn."
Craig began blacksmithing in 1992 at the Western Development Museum in Saskatoon. A hobby that became a passion and then a career, blacksmithing has taken Craig across Canada and across oceans. Craig’s focus as a contemporary artistic blacksmith is on sculpture, furniture and architectural commissions. He describes his design aesthetic as industrial minimalism.
