 Lee W. Badger is the owner, director and chief talent of Anvil Works®, in business since 1981. His life-long career as a self-employed artist-blacksmith began during the 1970's in Denver and the Colorado Rockies and brought him to the Mid-Atlantic and National Capital region in the late 1980's. He taught and worked as an artist-in-residence at Glen Echo National Park in suburban Washington, DC from 1989 to 1993. As the scope of his business increased, Lee began to seek a regionally central location where he could create a workshop of his own design. In 1998 he built the Anvil Works studio and metal work shop in Hedgesville, WV. The shop was expanded in 2005 and in 2008 additional specialized equipment was acquired with financial assistance from the WV Division of Culture & History and the National Endowment for the Arts. Anvil Works’ location in West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle provides easy access to industrial resources and transportation routes, allowing Lee to serve clients throughout the entire Mid-Atlantic region with ease. |
