A fab day of tuition from Phil and Jessica. There were lots of new techniques to learn, but everything was very clearly explained and demonstrated with plenty of 1-2-1 attention. I think we all ended up having made something we could be proud of🙂
My son had 2 days at the anvil with Jessica. He throughly enjoyed both days. Jessica explained everything to him really well. Showed my son different techniques to twist, bent and move the iron. My son made a beautiful candle holder, knife, BBQ fork and Neil (a snail). My son can't wait to be back. ( He also loved the lunches provided).
Thank you for an amazing experience :-)
We had an excellent day at Peak Blacksmithing, Jess was a great tutor, showing us the whole process from lighting the forge, using the tools then through the different techniques to make a toasting fork. There was a relaxed atmosphere with Jess not far away to help if needed.
With no previous experience of blacksmithing I thoroughly enjoyed my day and would recommend Peak Blacksmithing to anybody!😃👍
Jess is a highly talented tutor who adapts the teaching to your level of expertise, which in my case is zero! Even if you're not that practical you'll be carefully guided to make something to be proud of and if you are, the world's your oyster as to what she can have you making!
The demonstrations are fascinating of what is an amazing craft.
Had a great experience day and would highly recommend it to anyone!
What a great time I had, my other half booked this experience day for me and it didn't disappoint.
The ability of the teachers astounded me with how easy they made it all look.
The facilities were lovely and the food served was really nice, set in great surroundings to top it off.
I can assure you I'll be booking onto another course in the near future.
Thanks again
