I have known Jaric for some years now and he has completed several commissions for me, including iron fencing, an attractive garden arch, an imposing tree seat and – most obvious to quests and passers- by- our entrance gates.
We wanted a unique entrance, but at the same time one which complements our surroundings. I was blown away when I saw the final result- it is rare to find this quality of work, and I can honestly say I enjoy them every time I pass through.
Throughout all projects Jaric has been very amenable to our input. I consider him a talented artist and blacksmith, delivering high quality projects at reasonable prices
Jaric has made a number of items for our property- a balustrade, an arch, the gate and finally the fencing. Having had wooden fencing before, with all the maintenance and lack of appeal you’d expect, we decided on something both unique and permanent for our home.
We specified that we wanted a “wow” effect, and that is exactly what we got.
We knew the installation would present challenges as the original structure was aligned on a slope, but nothing was too much trouble for Jaric- he is adaptable, hardworking, and determined.
We find him very organized- both in the creative and manufacturing stages, and consider ourselves lucky to have found such a skilled and imaginative blacksmith- we can’t recommend him highly enough.
I had had me luck finding an ironsmith to make a customized pergola, until a close friend put me in contact with Jaroslaw, and gave him a glowing reference.
Initially I commissioned a few smaller items including a gate and an interior lamp, which were completed within both timescale and budget, and to my complete satisfaction. I asked him to produce this pergola and had specific timescale and sizing constraints.
I am delighted with all the works he has completed. He is extremely enthusiastic and loves elaboration of metal design. I believe he has been heavily influenced by the training he had in Vienna, and that this is apparent in his work which is so different to that of British blacksmiths
We had created a fairly steep stone pathway which needed a handrail for safety. Given the efforts we had made to enhance the appearance of our garden, we definitely did not want an industrial, unappealing railing, and that was all we were being shown.
We consider ourselves fortunate to have found Jaric, who, from the word go seemed to understand that we wanted something unique and that we wanted to be involved.
He tactfully challenged some of our ideas, but also provided many enhancements to the total project- on his recommendation we added some small, coloured glass "eyelets" which add further interest to the design on the odd day when we get some rays of sunlight!
After several commission we now know what to expect- beautiful "structures" which are robustly installed, to an agreed budget and to our complete satisfaction.
We have no hesitation in recommending him.
Jaroslaw was recommended to me by my retired personal assistant, as an exceptional artist and wrought iron craftsman. Accordingly I asked him to show me some of his work and his portfolio, both of which did indeed impress me. Subsequently I visited his workshop in Otley for further viewing further work he has executed for clients.
I found him competent, hard working and honourable. I would highly recommend him to ant clients who seek design and execution of massive jobs. Jaroslaw is capable of meeting such challenges. His designs are excellent, his selection of the material is most informed and his final products are worthy works of art.
Jaroslaw has a vivacious and dynamic personality and this is reflected in manner in which co- operates and closely works with his clients to establish their requirements at the earliest possible time with the aim of meeting these requirements.
I have collaborated with Jaroslaw over the last couple of years providing him with glass work to use in his projects. He is enthusiastic, passionate and easy to get along with. He has a very positive outlook on life and is quite a dynamic force
We have worked with Jaroslaw for the past seven years. He has an honourable character and is completely professional in all aspects of business. He has strong personal integrity and plenty of creative ideas. His support for his local church in producing a beautiful candlestick was much appreciated
