For the last year we have been working with The Chairmaker’s Toolbox to create a drawknife design that we can produce out of our small studio here in North Carolina.
Andrew Meers and Meghan Martin live and work together in western North Carolina.
Andrew Meers is a bladesmith and metalsmith who grew up outside of Boston, Massachusetts and attended Massachusetts college of Art and Design, where he received his BFA in Sculpture.

He earned his Mastersmith rating from the American Bladesmithing Society in 2015, and is a recipient of the B.R Hughes award.
Andrew has taught workshops at Penland School of Craft, Peters Valley, New England School of Metalwork, and Touchstone Center for Crafts. He is a former artist in residence at The National Ornamental Metals Museum and Penland School of Craft. Andrew creates custom cutlery and art knives.
Meghan Martin is an artist blacksmith. Originally from Vermont, Meghan learned metalworking through apprenticeships with local artists after receiving a two year grant from the Vermont Folklife Center’s Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program. She completed the Core Fellowship Program at Penland School of Craft in 2016, and has taught workshops at Penland and Haystack Mountain School of Crafts. Meghan creates a wide range of work, including functional objects for the home, hand tools, and an evolving series of sculptural wall pieces. She draws inspiration from nature and her work as a gardener, creating pieces that delicately reference time, erosion, rock formations and other geologic phenomena.
