WOW... WHERE DO WE EVEN BEGIN?

From the bottom of our hearts, we want to say a massive THANK YOU to every single person who has supported Metal Manipulation.

To our incredible customers, family, friends, followers, supporters, event organisers, fellow traders, and everyone who has shared our work, recommended us, liked a post, stopped by for a chat, purchased a piece, or simply believed in what we do — thank you.

What started as a passion for creating unique handmade metalwork has grown into something far bigger than we ever imagined, and none of it would have been possible without your kindness, encouragement, trust, and support.

Because of you, we are incredibly proud to announce that Metal Manipulation is now FULLY BOOKED for large commission projects for the remainder of this year. In fact, demand has been so overwhelming that we have already opened our 2027 commission diary and are now taking bookings for next year.

This is something we never take for granted. Every commission, every order, and every conversation means the world to us.

While our large commission schedule is now full, we do still have limited availability for smaller handmade pieces, including our signature lamps and other bespoke creations. Spaces are extremely limited, so if you’ve been thinking about having something made by us, please don’t leave it too long to get in touch.

We’d also like to make everyone aware that due to the size and complexity of the commissions we’re currently working on, along with the many shows, exhibitions, events, and off-site projects we attend throughout the year, we are not always at the workshop or showroom.

The showroom is generally only open on days when we are working on specific commissions at the workshop, and there are many occasions when we are out on-site, meeting clients, installing projects, attending events, or showcasing our work elsewhere.

If you’re planning a special journey to come and visit us, please make sure you contact us beforehand. We’d hate for anyone to make the trip only to find we’re away working on one of our projects or attending one of our shows.

The growth of Metal Manipulation has brought some amazing opportunities, and while it means we’re busier than ever, we’re committed to continuing to create the unique handcrafted pieces that you’ve come to know and love.

Thank you for every order.
Thank you for every recommendation.
Thank you for every message.
Thank you for every visit.
Thank you for every share.
Thank you for believing in us.

Your support allows us to keep doing what we love every single day, and for that, we will always be grateful.

Here’s to the rest of an exciting year, an already busy 2027, and many more incredible creations to come.

With sincere gratitude,

Metal Manipulation

Garden Privacy Screening. 🍂

A challenging install, but this commission piece is finally starting to come together beautifully. 😀

Due to the position of the screening, this one has definitely tested us during installation — but seeing it all take shape makes it worth every bit of effort.

The design features panelled sections with a detailed oak 🌳tree cut-out at the centre, finished with additional fabricated leaves to create the effect of them blowing away in the wind. 🌬️ Every element has been carefully crafted to give the piece movement and depth while still providing privacy screening.

To complete the look and ensure long-lasting durability, the entire piece has been finished in a protective bronze powder coating.

We’re looking forward to showing the finished result once everything is fully installed.

What an incredible weekend at Living Crafts!

A huge thank you to the new organisers for putting together such a fantastic event. From our perspective as exhibitors, we could truly see the amount of hard work, dedication, and passion that went into making everything run so smoothly — and it really showed. We loved every moment of being part of it.

Thank you as well to everyone who came to visit us over the weekend. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces, meet new people, and share what we love to create here at Metal Manipulation. Your support, conversations, and encouragement mean so much to us.

And of course, a special thank you to Hatfield House for providing such an absolutely stunning setting for the event. It really is a beautiful location and made the whole experience even more special.

We’re incredibly grateful to have been part of such a lovely event and hopefully we’ll see you all again next year!

What a fantastic few days it has been exhibiting with Living Crafts at Hatfield House — and somehow we’re already on our last day!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has stopped by to see Metal Manipulation over the weekend. It’s been such a pleasure meeting so many lovely new faces, as well as welcoming back returning customers from 2024 who remembered my work and came to find me again — that truly means a lot.

We’ve also been incredibly lucky with the weather, and yesterday especially was absolutely glorious! Sunshine, great conversations, amazing atmosphere and plenty of metal art, what more could you ask for?

Thank you to everyone who took the time to chat, support the business, share kind words and of course make purchases. Every conversation and every piece that finds a new home is genuinely appreciated.

This has been a brilliant first show of the year for Metal Manipulation, and it’s given us such a great start to the 2026 season. We’re already looking forward to getting back out on the road in June and seeing familiar and new faces all over again.

Until next time — thank you for all the support! ⚒️

Sorry we’ve been a little quiet on social media lately — it’s that time of year where we’re busy in the workshop working on some bigger commissioned projects for our fantastic customers. 🔥

Over the last week, we’ve been creating a slight variation of our ever-popular outdoor bistro set — this one larger in size and incorporating more seating options for those who love to entertain outdoors.

We call this our Circle Design. It features different sized circles cut into the table top and seat sections, along with handcrafted circle scrolls and additional detailing designed not only to enhance the overall look, but to strengthen the structure too.

The table and chairs are fully welded — no nuts or bolts to work loose over time — making this a solid, long-lasting piece that’s truly built to stand the test of time. This is a table that will last a lifetime.

All fabrication and welding is now complete, and it’s ready to head off for a durable powder-coated finish. This will protect the steelwork from the elements while giving it a fresh new colour to perfectly suit its new home.

If you have an idea or outdoor project you’d like us to help bring to life, we’d love to hear from you.

See you soon,
Leigh

We’ve just wrapped up a recent commission for an industrial-style clothing rail 👔with integrated storage, and we’re a little bit in love with how this one turned out.

At Metal Manipulation, we love working with natural materials — this piece features reclaimed timber boards, sealed with a natural beeswax finish to protect the wood while letting its character shine through. To finish it off, we added natural seagrass baskets, custom-sized to fit the unit perfectly and bring a softer, organic contrast to the steel frame.

If you’ve got an idea in mind for an industrial-style furniture piece, whether it’s storage, rails, shelving or something completely unique, we’d love to hear about it.

Handcrafted. Bespoke. Made to last.🇬🇧
