ABOUT The artist
Emily Blay is a self-taught metalwork artist who transforms raw metal into wearable art, empowering individuals to embrace their inner strength. With each hammer strike, she channels the creative spirit, forging metal into bold pieces that can be worn as armor for the body or displayed as art for the soul.
Founded in 2020, Chains of Metal was born from Emily’s belief that faith in oneself can make anything possible. Her work is not about recreating the past but about being inspired by history to forge new paths. With nothing more than her two hands and a variety of metals, Emily dares to push the boundaries of what can be created, proving that the imagination knows no limits when doubt is left behind.
During the global lockdown, Emily devoted thousands of hours to perfecting her craft. What began as a journey of trial and error has evolved into an obsession, bringing life to metal pieces reminiscent of the bold artwork of Frank Frazetta and the spirit of old comic books.
