Welcome

Welcome to the Rene Petitjean Studio in Creemore, Ontario, where the artist in residence creates custom contemporary forgings and metal designs for institutions and individuals with an appreciation for superb design and craftsmanship.   Petitjean’s work covers an extensively wide range: from finely crafted sculpture to large pieces - railings, gates and chandeliers - that connect, protect and illuminate in ways that are both aethestically beautiful and beautifully functional.

Learn about the artist Rene Petitjean and how he has evolved from a widely recognized potter to a designer and sculptor of forged metal.
