Welcome to Zen Forge
Zen Forge is the workshop of fourth-generation Ukrainian blacksmith, Max Mykhailichenko, and his wife and business partner, Tetiana. Based in Winchester, Hampshire, after relocating from Ukraine, we offer traditional blacksmithing services locally and internationally. Together, we offer a wide range of custom hand-forged products, from drawer pulls and fireplace tools to gates and railings.
As a blacksmith, I find endless inspiration in the way metal transforms when heated, becoming pliable and full of potential. I love taking on challenging projects and experimenting with different blacksmithing techniques to achieve unique results, always striving to push the boundaries of the craft. My wife is the driving force behind the growth of our small business, managing sales, communication, and our online presence. Together, we aim to show that blacksmithing is not just a trade but a form of art, with possibilities that extend far beyond standard designs.
Feel free to explore the products available below or get in touch to discuss custom work!
