Kevin Stanford is an artist blacksmith based in San Angelo, Texas, originally from
Southern California. Kevin has a bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of
Northern Colorado, with a field emphasis on botany and zoology. Kevin took his
blacksmithing intro course at ACC in 1999, and for the most part, is self-taught. In the last few years, he has traveled with the goal of spending time with prominent
and up-and-coming artist blacksmiths, participating in collaborative sculpture
sessions, taking hands-on sculpture courses, and demonstrating non-traditional steel
manipulation for beginning blacksmiths, and visiting and talking to local smiths.
Kevin’s passion is exploring non-traditional shapes in forged steel using
traditional blacksmith techniques.
