Maker's bio

Adrian Wood artist blacksmith is a university graduate with a degree in fine art sculpture from The University of London. A chance visit to a blacksmith's forge gave Adrian Wood his first taste of blacksmithing. He recalls; ”From the first moment I hit the hot steel I knew what I wanted to do.” The Forge workshop is situated in the rural outskirts of Yarm, between Darlington and Northallerton so is easily accessible from the A1 or A19. Adrian is a mentor on the BBC 1 show Make It At Market.

Dave Lund reviewed: Blacksmithing Beginners day courses in Yorkshire and the North East

"Thanks so much for the amazing day. Fantastic introductory course to blacksmithing. Made a nice little keyring and a coat hook. Ade and Andy were great tutors, very friendly and helpful. Refreshments and lunch were lovely. Thanks to everyone involved."

Ian Hudson reviewed: Blacksmithing Beginners day courses in Yorkshire and the North East

"We had had a brilliant day hammering with a very friendly and welcoming team.. Lots of lovely food and drink were provided. Great instruction was provided on the course and we were expertly guided to produce two pretty smart Nordic Dragon coat racks and key rings. Ear plugs may be a good idea to block the sound of the hammering. All in all, a fantastic day!"

"I had a brilliant time on the blacksmithing day. Thanks for the warm welcome, the friendly tuition and the great food. It tested my skills but was not overtaxing. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone."

"Excellent - between Adrian and Andy's patient expertise and Debbie's cooking and baking this was a cracking day. I'm hoping to come back for more!"
