Short History

Pepler Steel Studio was founded by John Prins in 2005. With a talent and passion for art and design, and a family heritage of Silversmithing and Blacksmithing, he took up welding and blacksmithing as a hobby. Pepler was the surname of his great grandfather who started the first Blacksmith shop in Franschhoek during the 1880’s.That is where the name of the studio arrived from. Currently Pepler Steel Studio is based on the Prins family farm, Le Bonheur, in Paarl.
