The Urban Crafts Foundation is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company based at Lambourne End Centre for Outdoor Education in Essex. Our forge is designed so that we can efficiently teach blacksmithing and coppersmithing to groups and individuals as well as carry out commissioned work. The classes we offer to members of the public allow us to run subsidised workshops with young people facing challenges that stop them from thriving in mainstream education.   Our Commissions include signage for restaurants in London's West End, restoration work on historic buildings, community projects and small-scale domestic work. We are a forward-thinking, design-led organisation that prides itself on working creatively with other makers. In 2022 we initiated an Artist in Residence program where artists can spend a short time with us learning how to work with steel and copper whilst developing their own sculptures.
