About Us
BearFire Forge
Based in Utah, James Anderson has spent over eight years forging (literally) his path as a blacksmith and creator. With a fiery passion for crafting and an artistic vision that refuses to be boxed in, he tackles each project with a mix of skill, creativity, and maybe just a pinch of soot.
But James doesn’t stop at metal—he’s a true jack-of-all-trades in the creative world. Whether he’s designing graphics, shaping wood, engraving with lasers, cutting with plasma, or 3D printing futuristic masterpieces, his diverse skill set adds a modern twist to timeless craftsmanship.
From striking metal to sketching designs, James combines artistry and functionality to create pieces that are not only beautiful but also built to last. If it can be made, James can probably make it—and if it can’t, he’ll find a way anyway.
