Jenna and Rich Greenwalt of Forged Ingrain are the kind of makers who can build just about anything - and often do. From salvaged wood and concrete to metal, resin, and light, their work ranges from functional furniture to one-of-a-kind art pieces that carry the unmistakable fingerprint of collaboration. Together, they run a full-time creative business just outside of Cleveland, blending Rich’s background in the trades with Jenna’s eye for design and storytelling. Their projects feel industrial and organic at the same time, and their partnership (both in life and in the shop) has become central to their brand.We sit down with Jenna and Rich to talk about the long, surprising path that led from a fish-food factory to a thriving studio in Perry, Ohio, and how a shared need to make things grew into a livelihood. They get into what it means to build side by side, the learning curves of new tools and materials, and why experimentation keeps their work fresh. They talk about the “creation station” apartment garage where it all began, the wild early commissions that came from saying yes to everything, and the deep joy of showing up at Maker Camp each year to reconnect, recharge, and play. From BMX roots to blacksmithing tents, from hats to plasma tables, this one’s about partnership, process, and the kind of creative restlessness that makes you fall in love with making all over again.More Rich & JennaInstagramWebsite
