Hooked: A Blacksmith’s Study of Function Through Form is not just a book; it’s a source of inspiration. Part coffee table book, part step-by-step guide, and part design motivation, it chronicles Matt Jenkins' 2016 #366Hooks project, in which he challenged himself to design and forge a different hook each day of the (leap) year. The result?
366 unique hooks, each a spark of creativity, distinct in style, shape, and process.
Each hook in this book tells a story—crafted from off-cuts of custom railings, inspired by motifs observed while traveling, incorporating tricks learned from many mentors, and marking special occasions. Individually, these hooks are intriguing; together in one book, they become mesmerizing.
