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.

Rob Butler reviewed: Blacksmithing Introduction courses in Yorkshire and the North East

"I loved the whole experience. Adrian and Andy were really friendly, experienced tutors who demonstrated just enough, before leaving you to complete the next stage. While observing to prevent big mistakes happening. Food by Debbie was amazing."

Ella reviewed: Blacksmithing Introduction courses in Yorkshire and the North East

"Had an absolutely amazing experience here a few weeks ago. Adrian and Andy were super friendly and patient, not only teaching us step by step but also very happy to talk about their ongoing projects! It's an incredible thing to create something from a simple piece of metal, and to do it in such a welcoming environment was an experience I won't soon forget. Not to mention the delicious homemade lunch and bakes provided, really icing on the cake! Thank you Adrian, Andy and Debbie - I can't wait to come back."

Rowland Hills reviewed: Blacksmithing: make a rams head poker

"This was the second course I’ve done with Adrian (and Andy and Debbie). I made a rams head roasting fork, which looks fab. It was a really fun day, and the food was excellent (baked potatoes, veg chilli and local cheese, plus a lovely dessert too). The guys are very helpful and demonstrate things clearly. A real mix of ability and experience but they managed it well. I’ll definitely be back again in future to make something else. "
