FBF METAL ATELIER®
A DESIGN HOUSE FOR METAL ARTISTRY
FBF Metal Atelier® is a Design House for Metal Artistry;
most acknowledged for sculpting intricate Metal Objects that align with a 12 year study of metal’s relationship to the body, nature & interior space.
Founded in 2011 by Guyanese- American Metal Artisan + Metal Botanical Sculptor, Friday Lynton; FBF MA® is an artistic + symbolic dedication to her father’s 30+ year career as a Metalsmith.
The Design House has evolved into a creative community where aspiring & skilled Metal Artisans can learn & grow together via skill-share, apprenticeship & mentorship, whilst sculpting Metal Objects that visibly weld references from the art, design + fashion worlds concurrently.
As of August 2023, Little Roy Lynton (father of Friday Lynton) has joined the Atelier team as a Metal Artisan Apprentice + Metal Botanical Sculptor.
