From giant insects in the woods of Scotland to seaweed inspired gates on the Cornish coast, ethereal deer in the ancient forests of England to organic seats in some of the UK's finest historic gardens, David Freedman’s unique sculptural metalwork is shown here at its best, set within the landscape that inspires its creation.

David has been creating striking metal sculpture, delicate copper water features, decorative gates and much more for over 20 years.

This book is more than a catalogue of David's work, with stunning photographs, design notes and sketches as well as perspectives from blacksmiths around the world and a look into the forge, past and present, it provides a unique window into an ancient yet ever evolving craft.

David is also a writer of articles and fiction. His children's book Stunt Crow is available on Amazon and Jewel of The Brook is forthcoming.
