Dick Sargent has demonstrated and taught workshops nationally.

He has been a professional blacksmith for over 30 years and has owned and operated his own forge since 1986. His focus is on high end architectural work.

Starting in a small shop, in Vermont, he worked with Frank Grapes. In 1973 Dick and partner Tony Millham, started Star Forge in Newport, Rhode Island.

For 2 years they produced a prodigious amount of reproduction hardware for period homes sponsored by the Newport Restoration Foundation.

Following that experience, Dick started his own shop in VT and sold his hardware through his own catalog.

In the early-90's he also began producing forged elements, as a subcontractor, for other shops (Catalpa Gate Co. in Putney, VT, for one).

From 1996 until 2004, Dick was the Shop Forman and Blacksmith for Roslyn Metalcraft, a busy railing shop on Long Island, NY, where he produced railings for stairways and balconies.
