"Crafts Insight- Metal and Ironworks: Lee Badger, Hedgesville, West Virginia." The Crafts Report Magazine, January 2005, p. 17.

When I was in art school, I became a metalsmith thinking there would be less competition in this field and it would be easier to have a successful business. I believe in the saying, "You get the kind of work you do." so I try to be as versatile as possible, taking on interesting and unique projects, whatever they are. Referrals from my clients are the best source of new commissions. Ive had several jobs regarding historic architectural clocks, quite a few commissions for landscape architectural artwork and sculpture, and many more interior design projects for professionals and private homeowners.
