Our Values

Mastery of Craft
We uphold the highest standards of traditional craftsmanship, blending old-world techniques with contemporary design and engineering.

Cultural Stewardship
We believe metalwork is more than material—it’s a vessel of memory, identity, and meaning. We are dedicated to preserving the stories embedded in historic structures and monuments.

Innovation Through Heritage
From renewable energy prototypes to modern design commissions, we use history as a foundation for future-facing solutions.

Community Empowerment
We mentor emerging artisans and engage the public through education, exhibitions, and collaborative projects. Our work is rooted in Detroit and made for the world.

Sustainability and Regeneration
We repurpose materials, reduce waste, and design for longevity—creating functional beauty with ecological responsibility.
