5.0 (1)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.

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.
