The making of S5Forge
Hi friends and new visitors! We are so glad that you found us. We are S5Forge, a family of makers.
Daddy maker, Jeramie started this business in 2015 when he decided he wanted to channel his considerable artistic and building skills into blacksmithing. He started forging with a coal hand-crank forge then built his own gas powered forge. He has since accumulated a variety of professional metal working tools as his skills have grown and he builds more and more amazing hand-forged creations.
As our family grew up Mama maker, Melody took her passion for succulent care, collection and propagation and began creating arrangements for festivals, weddings, and classes for arranging succulents. She has recently grown into resin art, an exciting expression for her love of the ocean and all things functional and entertaining.
It turns out, our kids are makers too!
Tayler, our oldest started her own business at 17, called Taylermayed custom painting shoes, denim, canvas, and composing commissioned digital art. She has always loved the Grateful Dead and all things skulls and bones but her talents extend to anything you can dream up with her.
Madison, our middle daughter is a painter, jewelry maker, glass artist, and talented interior designer. You'll see her work on this page for custom art and ready made pieces.
Monty is our youngest maker. He creates "Cardboard Creations" for hours in his room while listening to books. We decided he needed a space to bring his talents to the world as well. Look for cartoon items and engineered pieces with moving parts. All made from cardboard, hot glue, and string!
The collaboration of Jeramie and Melody's work is called Succulent Steel, a name appropriate for both our art and our personalities. Look for us on Instagram!
