Where Craftsmanship Meets Creativity

At Red Iron, every piece begins with a vision and is brought to life through skilled craftsmanship, creativity, and a passion for working with metal. Founded by award-winning artist blacksmith Michael Route, the studio specializes in handcrafted architectural metalwork that transforms homes, businesses, and public spaces into something truly extraordinary.

Michael's signature style is recognized for its flowing lines, sculptural forms, and balance between strength and elegance. Inspired by nature and shaped by the movement of hot steel, his work blends artistic expression with timeless craftsmanship, resulting in pieces that are distinctive, inviting, and built to last.

Today, Red Iron Studio proudly serves homeowners, architects, interior designers, builders, and businesses throughout the United States, creating custom metalwork tailored to each client's unique vision.

At Red Iron Studio, we don't just fabricate metal, we create architectural pieces that tell a story.
