About Ea Craftworks
Our Story
EA Craftworks was established in 2017 as a creative metalworking studio focused on architecture and aesthetics. Like Apple and Microsoft, EA got its start in a garage. Unlike them, our founder Alex still cleans the break area. 😉 Today, EA operates out of a commercial facility on the northwest side of Grand Rapids and has grown into a premier fabricator of ornamental and architectural metalwork. From custom staircases to sculptural installations, we deliver standout projects across the Midwest.

The EA Craftworks Difference
Start to Finish Support
We don’t just fabricate—we collaborate. From initial concept through final installation, our team works alongside clients to refine designs, solve challenges, and bring visions to life.
We Speak the Language
We bridge the gap between aesthetics and execution. Fluent in the languages of designers, architects, artists, and contractors, we help align project goals, navigate technical requirements, and keep communication flowing smoothly between teams.
Creative & Technical Experience
Our collective experience spans fabrication, fine arts, industrial design, and engineering. That diverse background lets us bring fresh insight and adaptable solutions to complex, custom work.
