Established in 2005, 12th Avenue Iron is a partnership of four metal artists and craftsmen: Stephen Marks, Mark Christiansen, Michael Prendergast and Scott Szloch. We design, build, and install custom architectural metalwork, sculpture, and furniture for a broad range of clients, including architects, builders, corporations, universities, and private clients.
As a team, we bring together broad and deep experience in metalworking (forging, fabrication, and casting), as well as many years of professional construction experience. In addition, three partners in the company teach advanced sculptural metalworking at Pratt Fine Arts Center. As artists, we provide strong design skills. Our working relationships with other professional artists/craftsmen allow us to integrate blown and cast glass, wood, stone, and other materials into our projects.
12th Avenue Iron provides a unique combination of artistic sensibility, material and skill variety, superior craftsmanship, and rock-solid execution.
