Iron Age Studios is a sculpture and metal fabrication studio owned by William Colburn Jr.

Colburn's company has executed numerous commissions from George Barber for the Barber Motorsports Park and other sites. The company also produces retail products sold at Cabela's, Home Good Stores, Ducks Unlimited, Leaf & Petal, and Charlie Thigpen's Garden Gallery.

Colburn moved the business to Robertsdale in Baldwin County in 1993.

In 2015 the company moved back to the Birmingham area, initially leasing space in Pelham while pursuing design and construction of a newly-built 3,000-square foot headquarters studio and 7,000-square foot outdoor sculpture garden / event space on the former site of Mount Lebanon Baptist Church at 101 40th Street South in Avondale.

In 2022 Colburn opened the Elysian Gardens bar and sculpture park, along with Artifice restaurant, at the site.
