Hammer and Hound Forge is a traditional blacksmith's workshop in Blyth, Northumberland, Uk owned by award winning blacksmith Alex Sowden, who you might have seen before on Sky Arts' "The Prince's Master Crafters", or BBC1's "Make It At Market".
We offer a variety of experiences in metalwork for all skill levels, including tuition in welding and fabrication, forging damascus steel, jewellery techniques and much more!
We produce kits of hand forged woodworking supplies, as well as tools for other crafts, though our stock is often forged on commission.
We also take on larger work, such as forging gates and railings, overthrows, staircases and all variety of ironwork.
If you have any questions for us, please get in touch!
"Alex was a great tutor, kind and thoughtful to help each of us get what we wanted to achieve. Clear instructions, non-judgemental and brilliant at showing my teen that there are ways to succeed in life if you're worried about your school's emphasis on GCSEs. Set up is good too - lots of space to work, kitchen & loos on site and a sunny spot out the back to eat your packed lunch. Thanks Alex "
"Had a wonderful day making a knife. Alex was a wonderful teacher and helped out at critical moments during my forging experience. At the end of the day I was able to take home a knife which for all the world looked as if it had been made professionally. Can’t get better than that. "
