Unleash your inner blacksmith at the enchanting Old Dairy Farm in Northampton, under the expert guidance of Kelly Burton. Get ready to dive into the timeless craft of forging metal in a welcoming and hands-on atmosphere.

In this six-hour blacksmithing experience, you'll enjoy a full day of metalwork as you craft practical pieces like fire pokers, or craft unique objects such as keychains, coat hooks, or bottle openers. Alternatively, let your imagination take charge and create a bespoke piece all your own.

Group sizes are four to eight, so you can come with a group of friends as a fun birthday party idea or social get-together with friends. You'll work in a rotation of four at a time over the forge in a focused and welcoming learning environment.

Your enriching blacksmithing experience also includes a delightful two-course meal at the on-site Barn restaurant. Refreshing drinks are also provided on the day to fuel your day of forging.

It's an enjoyable day of learning and crafting wonderful memories. You'll walk away with your beautiful creation and maybe a bit of a sore arm from hammering.

Kelly Burton Artist Blacksmith

I am a born and bred 'Norfolk'n' but currently reside in Northamptonshire.
I studied a foundation degree at Loughborough University in 2006 where it was my intention to become a fine art painter; perhaps it was my obsession with painting fire that led me to become a blacksmith... The fire does provide beauty within the flame.

2007-2010 was spent at Hereford College of Art & Design where I got a first class degree in artist blacksmithing.
2011-2012 was spent working with others and setting up my own business in Norfolk. Which continues on to this current day, in Northamptonshire, at The Old Dairy Farm Craft Centre.
