About
Daniel Freyne, a Scottish artist with a unique journey. Formally trained as a blacksmith, his work is a modern representation of a timeless craft. It should be seen as a homage to the foundations of blacksmithing, yet a distinct breakaway from the romanticised notions of what a smith is and is not.
Born in Edinburgh in 1994, Daniel embarked on a blacksmithing journey over twelve years ago. Following a rigorous five-year apprenticeship, he embarked on a journeyman adventure, spanning six European countries, collaborating with world renowned blacksmiths. After this, he pursued a bachelor’s degree in Fine Art, specialising in Metal, from Gothenburg University, Sweden. His educational journey culminated in 2023 with the
completion of a Master’s in Fine Art from the same institution.
Presenting a deceptive reimagination of iron work, Daniel pushes the boundaries of what is though possible with his chosen material, iron.
