Sculptor and craftsman Jared Hadfield is a based in Marshfield. “In 2020, I built a 2,000-square-foot workshop on my property called Forest Street Studio to accommodate large-scale projects and the scope of my free-ranging imagination. My background is split between the fine art world and fabrication industry, allowing me to approach custom projects and distinctive sculptures with dual sensibilities in craft and design. My process usually begins with engineered wood, hefty structural beams I collect from the lumberyard then carve down, shape and refine. At times, found metal hardware will spark a vision and become the starting point for a new form. Inspiration from my nautical surroundings on the South Shore often makes its way into my work as well as the spontaneous creativity of my kids.”
