Jared Hadfield
Sculptor, Maker, and Fabricator
Jared Hadfield is a sculptor and craftsman based South of Boston in Marshfield, MA. In 2020, he built a 2,000-square-foot workshop called Forest Street Studio to accommodate large-scale projects and the scope of his wide-ranging imagination. Jared’s background is split between the fine art world and the fabrication industry, allowing him to approach custom projects and distinctive sculptures with dual sensibilities in craft and design.
His process usually begins with engineered wood—hefty structural beams collected from the lumberyard, then carved down, shaped, and refined. At times, found metal hardware will spark a vision and become the starting point for a new form. Inspiration from his nautical surroundings on the South Shore often makes its way into Jared’s work, as well as the spontaneous creativity of his kids. Jared is constantly bringing new ideas to the table and looks forward to hearing about yours.
