Description
This is a new course for anyone who loves Dragons or 'Game of Thrones' fans who would like to make their own metal dragon. The end result is a metal dragon with a 2ft ( 600mm) wingspan that could possibly be converted to breathe fire or smoke. The course is run over 2 days and includes a complimentary lunch on both days. We will start at 9.30am on the first day and finish about 3-4ish on the second day depending on how everyone is doing. The dragons will be made so they can easily be transported and be ready to be left to patina in a natural finish or possibly painted if desired. For more information please use the 'Message the tutor' button. This course is suitable for beginners. The classes will be run on a 2:1 basis so tuition will be at hand through every step of the way. If you wish this class to run over a Saturday there is a small cost to cover tutors weekend wages which is £15 which is payable on the day.
What's included in the price?
Everything that is needed to make the dragons is included. Our Blacksmiths Forge has everything need to complete the dragon ready to take home. Tea , Coffee and Biscuits are always available. We will be taking everyone for a pub lunch on the first day (sorry beer is not included) and supplying a complementary packed lunch on the second. We will supply all the safety equipment (gloves, goggles, aprons etc) but you will need to wear sturdy footwear and older clothes as its 'dirty' work in a forge!
