Greg Hessel combines techniques and tools from both wrought iron and jewelry traditions.  As a result, his designs have an interesting and organic quality combined with high refinement and delicacy.  Greg is inspired by traditional metalworking techniques but has also imprinted his own methods and tools on his work.  The hand forging of copper involves much heat and hammering.  Authentic Hessel candlesticks are each engraved on the underside with the name of the design and bear the Hessel Studios stamp.
