Jon Sarriugarte — Metal Fabrication & Large-Scale Art
Real shop footage of building things, start to finish — no hype, just the making.
I'm Jon Sarriugarte, founder of Form & Reform, a metal fabrication studio in Oakland, CA. 30+ years in blacksmithing, welding, and large-scale sculpture — plus lighting collections designed and licensed for Restoration Hardware.
I'm also co-lead of Empire of Dirt, an art collective where we build together, share ideas, and demo live at Burning Man, Maker Faire, Open Sauce, and community events. We're a family, made for each other.
