Our Craft: Where Tradition Meets Precision

At Bloom & Build, we don't just shape metal; we forge legacies. Based in our Dublin workshop, we unite the timeless art of blacksmithing with state-of-the-art fabrication technology. Our commitment is to exceptional quality, enduring strength, and the unique artistic vision of each client. Every piece tells a story of fire, steel, and skilled hands, from preliminary sketches to the final, gleaming installation.

Founded by craftsman Seamus O'Malley, with over two decades of experience, Bloom & Build has grown to be recognized for its unyielding dedication to material integrity and client satisfaction across Ireland. We believe true artistry lies in the details.
