What to expect at London metalwork classes

Dreaming of whipping up some wonderful wire wall art in Wandsworth? Maybe you’d like to have fun at a forge in Fulham or create some metal sculptures for the garden in Greenwich? Wherever you are in the big city, we’ve got a metalwork class in your area that will help transform you from a wire art amateur into a full blown blacksmith in a single afternoon – all you need to bring is your enthusiasm! 

Whichever metalwork class you opt for, you’ll begin your exciting London activity in the same way – with a super warm welcome from your talented teacher and a quick meet-and-greet with your fellow creatives. You’ll be given a brief overview of the history of your chosen craft, followed by an all-important health and safety talk and a full demonstration of the metalwork tools – vital if you’re going to be wielding a welding torch! Once the introduction is over, it’s time to don the apron and get properly stuck into your blacksmith experience under the full guidance of your teacher. They’ll stay on hand through the whole session to make sure you don’t have any metalworking mishaps, and you’ll finish the workshop with either a useful tool or a beautiful piece of art for your home or garden.

Metalwork is great for your wellbeing

Feeling stressed out? Whether you’ve been working a bit too hard or you just need a break from the daily grind, studies have shown that spending time getting creative can do the world of good. Immersing yourself in a new hobby or learning a new skill such as metalwork helps to keep your brain healthy, which in turn can alleviate stress and anxiety, boost mood and make you feel a whole lot calmer. What better reason to enrol in a craft class than that?

Metalwork and blacksmithing might not seem like the most relaxing hobbies, but we think they definitely have soul soothing properties. After all, gathering around a warm fire in the heart of a forge to create something beautiful with your own two hands is a great way to switch off from the outside world – when you’re busy hammering hot metal, you’re definitely not going to be worrying about that work deadline!
