THE PHILIP SIMMONS DOCUMENTATION PROJECT 
 
 
Overview of Project  Philip Simmons is one of the world’s most renowned master blacksmiths. To date, there has not been a project that combines multi-media to categorize and archive over 500 pieces of existing ironworks that Mr. Simmons designed, fabricated or replaced corroded sections. This project encompasses video, print and on-the-ground, self-guided tours. Ultimately this endeavor will involve students, photographers, videographers, historians and many other interested citizens of Charleston. The Philip Simmons Foundation, and Sunhead Projects are embarking on an effort to create the most comprehensive archives of Mr. Simmons’ work. This website shares our vision and a layout of the collaboration. We thank you for your interest and consideration.
