Manteo Blacksmith shop is the blacksmith shop of Randy Hodges, located at the KDH Cooperative Gallery and Studios, which is an artist community in Kill Devil Hills. The work created at Manteo Blacksmith Shop is usually a combination of wrought iron and coal-fired forge and metal work produced by modern methods incorporating recycled materials. Randy has been creating unique home and garden art pieces since 1999. Custom sculpture and artwork pieces are available for home or business. Choose from artistic decor or utilitarian objects, all handmade and beautifully crafted.
Randy’s artwork falls into one of four categories: Iron Horseplay, Refined Railroad, Scrap Metal Menagerie and Old Tools Wine Accoutrements. Iron Horseplay ranges from practical wall hooks to horseshoes. Refined Railroad is a line of artwork made from reused railroad spikes, a great gift idea for any railroad fan. Scrap Metal Menagerie uses salvaged steel to create animal sculptures. Old Tools and Wine Accoutrements offers a unique line and wide assortment of wine racks and accessories.
Randy also offers Blacksmith Instruction workshops through the KDH Cooperative. Spend an afternoon with Randy to learn the basics of blacksmithing in one day.
