Services
La Forgia has a lot to offer. It’s more than just a forge, other than amazing ironwork we also offer classes, custom period pieces (weapons / armor), and even an opportunity to book our space for photo shoots.
Custom Architectural Ironwork
Our bread and butter and what we hope to be known for is our architectural and ornamental ironwork. Truly custom, designed hand in hand with our clients’ wishes, our forged ironwork serves the purpose of not just beauty but structure and purpose. Gates, railings, doors, window grills, balconies, flower baskets, arch fillers, fireplace screens, range hoods, chandeliers, mailboxes, the list goes on. If you need iron in your home or workplace we can design and forge it!
Custom Tools / Tooling
As blacksmiths we generally create our own tools per every custom job. While we use welders, presses and power hammers, hand tools like punches, chisels, hammers, and tongs all have to be made to fit and suit the pieces we are creating. This often means that as forges grow, they also get more profitable as the tools they have at hand is constantly growing as well. Whatever your trade, often there is a tool that could make your life easier, more profitable, or just plain cooler, we can make it for you.
We can make not just forging tools like hammers and tongs, but tools for any trade: holdfasts for carpenters, specialty hammers for sculptors and jewelry makers, roofing hammers, union ironworker tools, jigs, and machine tooling. If you need any kind of metal tool, we can come up with a solution!
Stage Props / Photography & Tradeshow Backdrops
You can’t throw a hammer in Vegas without hitting a performer or convention attendee. La Forgia has created many stage props, including aerial rigs for many performers, as well as photography and tradeshow pieces. From chairs that need support for performance, fully realized stage props and backdrops, to sword swallowing and fire performer pieces. If you are a performer, tradeshowperson, or photographer and looking to impress or find that perfect addition to your work, we can make it.
Classes
Las Forgia’s Owner, Enzo Iron, teaches scheduled classes only several times a year, however you can book personal classes with him to fit your occasion. La Forgia is capable of teaching up to 8 people at a time. Whether you want one on one intensive classes or if your wedding party needs a break from the strip, book a class with us and feel what moving hot metal is like.
Classes are personal to what you would be interested in, we offer: tool making, knife forging, introduction to architectural ironwork, and apprentice level classes for those interested in becoming blacksmiths themselves. With these you will leave with the experience of forging, an item you’ve made and completed with your own hands, and access to Enzo Iron to help guide you along if its something you continue to pursue further.
Photography Booking
We’ve had so many models, performers, and photographers shoot at our forge that we are offering it as a service. Jesse, the owner of Vegas Forge has allowed La Forgia to fully book out the forge for photo or video shoots. Prices do depend on length of time, labor, and amount of resources involved but rates are reasonable with nearly any budget.
Need a photographer for your shoot? We have partnered with local photography company Radiant Inc. to bring you the best images you can imagine. Feel free to reach out directly to them for inquiries:

Coming Soon… Stained Glass
Mixing glass and iron is something we here at La Forgia dream about, blown glass is unfortunately far on the horizon but stained glass is just about to be a service La Forgia offers! From large leaded windows, to small decorative panels or lamps, La Forgia will be paving the way for mixed media stained glass and forged iron. Be on the lookout as we take the rest of 2022 to roll out our stained glass service.
