"My architectural ironwork for private customers includes large gates and railings and is typically forged free hand, either directly on the anvil or under an air hammer or hydraulic press. I have also done public sculptures in the US and abroad. My goal is simple: create happy work, both for me and my customers."
Helmut Hillenkamp
In 2007 Helmut Hillenkamp received the Alex Bealer Award, the highest recognition by ABANA (Artists Blacksmiths Association of North America) for his merits on behalf of the craft of blacksmithing.
