We have been teaching traditional crafts for over 25 years. In our everyday we use both the areas of greenwoodwork and blacksmithing to inspire our students, both young and old. We believe that craft making is a revolutionary act both personally and within society and have used teaching as a way to connect people to lost heritage alongside working with excluded adults to reconnect with their own personal power. Craft is also a great deal of fun.
