Leavitt Studios located in Berks County PA creates commissioned sculptural metalwork. The 5.500 square foot studio built in 2000 has 22 foot ceilings, a 5 ton overhead crane , and is fully equipped to create large scale sculpture. All work is forged, fabricated, and created in studio. None is sub-contracted elsewhere. This hands on approach allows for the love of material and process to be imbued into the spirit of the work. The viewer responds to this time-honored process steeped in the blacksmithing tradition.

Greg Leavitt heads up the studio with over 47 years of experience.
The work is primarily done on commission and they do not rely on gallery connections. The studio has forged a niche from doing major works in landscape and horticultural settings. Some of the works may have a functional purpose in the way of gates, arches and railings.
Greg’s sculptures can be found in many private gardens in the Tri-State area, as well as in public locations. These include , the Scott Arboretum at Swarthmore College and The Upper Chesapeake Medical Center Women's Pavilion in Maryland.
In Delaware, he and his daughter Camille created the entrance gate at Mt. Cuba Horticultural center and were selected to create a wall sculpture for a new garden at the Governor's Mansion in Harrisburg.

Greg is a passionate mountain biker, when he is not thinking about or making ironwork, he is thinking about or riding his bike.
