I am Mark Greenaway and I have been working in the restoration field for over 25 years.
Restoration is the thing that really drives my passion. Understanding historical methods and tool making allows me to correctly assess and approach a restoration job with a professional and pragmatic approach.
Working on restoration projects and historic ironwork challenges my skills, and allows me to explore what processes are needed, and what tooling is necessary in order to recreate the individual features of the artefact.
There are few people that have the patience as well as the skills and perseverance to tackle such work successfully. I love the feeling of not being afraid to explore the options of what is possible, making test pieces, making new tooling to suit the individual parts of the artefact and recreating the features. On completion of a project, the feeling of elation having been challenged and pushed makes me feel a more accomplished craftsman.

Core Conservation Principles
Our passion is for history and historical architecture and in particular Ironwork of all ages. At Evias Forge we turn a skilled and professional eye to every detail and endeavour to retain the integrity and appeal of the original artefact. Initially we analyse and assess the artefact in its original form to understand its importance before any intervention’s take place. Based on these observations we catalogue and photograph every stage of the work process. We use traditional techniques and materials to replicate original detailing when needed for sympathetic restoration work. We work to preserve and salvage the original piece as much as possible whilst adding well-crafted replicas that blend seamlessly with the existing metalwork. Thus, resulting in conserving history for decades to come.
