Forge Hill Sculpture
Meet the Maker
Since1991, collectors worldwide have enjoyed Beverly Zimmer’s work in clay, bronze, silver, and gold. Specializing in equine sculpture and jewelry, her work has been awarded and internationally acclaimed for over 32 years.
From the beginning of Beverly’s career, she has been a recognizable presence in the equestrian industry. Years of working with and training horses – from birth through advanced riding training – provides a deep understanding of equine biomechanics and behavior.
Beverly found her place in the equine industry quite easily. Branching off into jewelry design and commercial designs for home decor catalogs brought her financial stability. From 1991 to 2006, the sculptor traveled to equestrian events and market trade shows earning a reputation for outstanding designs and dedicated customer service. As her workload increased, the sculptor spent more time in the studio and less time on the road promoting her business. Beverly has won prestigious awards and Nationwide recognition for her works in bronze. It's not always her equine sculpture winning the awards, she has also achieved top honors with her Surreal sculpture!
Beverly spent many years living in south Florida and established her Forge Hill Sculpture business. While developing her incomparable equestrian jewelry line, she also worked at a bronze foundry as a hired sculptor and fabricator. Her equestrian and sculpting adventures have bounced her residences from South Eastern PA, Wellington FL, Aiken, SC, Richland, WA, and Walland, TN. She currently resides with her husband near the Smoky Mountains foothills in Walland, Tennessee.
How it’s Made
All of my sterling silver jewelry starts out in wax. I inject the mold with wax and clean it, adding detail, and any customization. The, the waxes are cast in .925 Sterling Silver. The castings are rough and need a lot of cleaning and polishing. Further soldering and assembly is done and the piece is ready for the final polishing and finishing. All of my jewelry is made in the USA, and shipped right from my Tennessee studio.
