About Jokum Lind Jensen

Jokum Lind Jensen is an artist blacksmith and a lecturer at the Metal art department at the university 91̽»¨ (HDK-Valand-Campus Steneby).

Originally trained as an artist blacksmith at Hereford collage of Art in the 1990ies, I have been running my own company since the year 2000, specializing primarily in restauration blacksmithing. Since completing my BA and MA at the Metal Art department at the university 91̽»¨ 2014 I have mainly focused on various research and development projects.

In collaboration with a number of different architects I have researched new aesthetic possibilities in re-introducing elements of handmade forged work into contemporary architecture.

I have researched 17th century decorative metalwork from a craft perspective in collaboration with the Craft lab (hantverkslaboratoried) A part of the cultural conservation department of the university 91̽»¨.

And for the Sloyd council (Nämnden for Hemslöjdsfrågor) I have researched possible ways of working with 17th century repoussé techniques in a contemporary context.

My personal artistic practice deals with various ways of understanding, investigating and exposing material, materiality technique and historical esthetical idioms in relation to hot forged steel.

Furthermore I still run my private company producing high-end bespoke metalwork for private customers.
