Artists & Crafters
of the Appalachian Highlands
Blacksmith / Bladesmith with a passion for dirty hands and hard work .
Donovan Haynes
When not farming, hunting, fixing stuff or just enjoying the outdoors, you'll find me in my shop working on items to sell at local art and craft shows. We set up all over the Southeast. If you see us at one, be sure to stop by and say hello!
I've been a blacksmith for over 30 years and thank God everyday that I get to work at something that I am passionate about. Working with my hands, fixing what I've got and making everyday items beautiful, makes for the best job ever!
We offer a full line of functional and decorative items, designed and handcrafted for your use. This includes hooks, candle holders, grilling items, fireplace accessories and more. I also offer one-of-a-kind Damascus and hunting blades forged to last a lifetime.
