Recent reviews of Half Day Blacksmithing Taster Class
- 5/5 from Caroline Grant, attended Mar 2026: Excellent teacher. Kelly is very friendly, skilled and knowledgeable. She clearly has a passion for the work and is a very accomplished instructor. A great day that I would highly recommend.
- 5/5 from Nigel Cullum, attended Apr 2025: A great experience, very rewarding and informative. Kelly was an excellent instructor who worked closely with me to create something very practical from a half metre mild steel rod. A leaf door hook! I thought I would be pretty useless but Kelly managed to help me through all the processes of metal work and forge craft. The 4 hours flew by and it was so interesting trying out the various techniques. Strongly recommended to anyone even as a beginner
- 5/5 from Ian McColl, attended May 2024: This was a great introduction to the blacksmithing art delivered by an engaging instructor who made the whole session very enjoyable. With only a limited number of participants the teaching was close to one to one. In the four hour session I made a fireside poker with tapers twists and swirls - I am confident it will be admired for many years to come as a practical tool by the fire. This session is perfect for anyone with an interest in working with their hands to make something of true value.

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.2021 - Awarded AWCB (Associate of the Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths) Diploma of Merit2021 - Featured in March/December issue of the Artist Blacksmith Magazine
