Meet Wayne Chaisty

Established for over 40 years, Wayne began his welding career in the 1970s, serving his apprenticeship in a traditional chain factory before travelling abroad to work in dockyards across Europe. Returning to the UK, he opened his first workshop in Manchester, later expanding with retail outlets in Didsbury and Marple.

Combining decades of craftsmanship with a passion for artistic metalwork, Wayne creates bespoke sculptures, decorative installations, furnishings, and architectural ironwork inspired by everything from Art Nouveau and Art Deco to the raw beauty of the natural world.

After taking time to focus on family life following the arrival of his two daughters, Wayne has returned to the forge with renewed creativity and enthusiasm — continuing to produce distinctive handcrafted pieces for homes, gardens, and commercial spaces.

Whether you are looking for a statement sculpture, bespoke feature piece, or practical ironwork with artistic flair, Wayne welcomes commissions of all sizes and would be delighted to discuss your ideas.
