A one-day class introducing the art of blacksmithing.



6 hours Class size 1 to 5     label £190

In this workshop, you will be introduced to the ancient craft of blacksmithing and take the first steps towards mastering this rewarding skill. Learn how to heat, bend, shape, and finish metal under the guidance of a skilled instructor. By the end of the session, you will have created a beautiful handcrafted item to take home as a testament to your newfound skills and creativity.
Don't worry if you've never held a hammer before, our skilled tutors will be with you every step of the way! We'll be working on coke and gas forges and making small useful objects that explore as many different techniques as we can fit into the day.
Don't worry about not being strong enough, we won't be doing anything too strenuous!
