Willow is an artist blacksmith from Lunenburg, MA, and an instructor at Prospect Hill Forge in Waltham.
Drawing inspiration from the animals on her farm and the fairy tales she reads to her daughter, Willow creates work that strives for elegance, humor, and cuteness. For Willow, blacksmithing is about using traditional forging and sculpting techniques to bring life and whimsy to traditionally forged ironwork. Her work focuses on the details and quirks that evoke laughter or a smile.
As of November 2023, Willow is a Forged in Fire Champion (History Channel, season 10, episode 7).
