Element 29 Metalcraft

Raleigh, NC

"Metal wall art, decorative and functional metal goods and freestanding sculptures meticulously handcrafted using traditional metalworking tools and techniques."

Jeremy Maronpot creates handcrafted metal art and sculpture by blending centuries-old techniques with contemporary design. His work is biomorphic and tactile, shaped in a way that feels grown rather than constructed. It has a classical feel and an organic aesthetic, often drawing from patterns and forms found in nature.

Working with copper, bronze, and other malleable metals, Jeremy shapes each piece using hand tools and traditional metalsmithing methods. Techniques such as forging, embossing, and repoussé push the metal into dimensional relief, creating physical depth and richly textured surfaces. Traditional patination techniques are then applied to develop color and surface variation, enhancing the depth and character of the metal.

Jeremy Maronpot has been creating metal artwork since the late 1990s, including more than a decade focused on commissioned work for individuals and local businesses. Jeremy Maronpot earned a BFA in Art with a concentration in Metal Design from East Carolina University in 2001, and continued training through studio-based workshops, and by working under artists Andrew Preiss and Alvin Frega. He is based in Raleigh, North Carolina.
