"Fantastic 3 hours course with Sarah. We did the mosaic bird baths and are so pleased with the results.

Andrew Bellass reviewed: Basic blacksmithing course

"Fantastic course. Me and my mates from work (also play games online) all finally decided to get off our computers and do something together that was physical and creative and we all decided on blacksmithing. This was definitely a great course for a day and learnt so much. We were really happy with what we created at the end of the day and proud to have something we all forged from very hot metal! We felt very welcome and in safe hands, we couldn't of asked for a greater host and hospitality. Would definitely recommend for people who want a great day out and create something to remember. "
