Day classes in traditional blacksmithing ... make an item to take away
"The one day blacksmith course with Rudi was exceptional. Rudi taught me the fundamental skills of blacksmithing and I was able to forge three items in the day course. I highly recommend the course to anyone who is interested in blacksmithing. "

"Hi Dan thank you for your review.
It was a pleasure working with you and I think all the items turned out well.
Cheers, Rudi "
"What a fabulous experience. So far out of my comfort zone when I arrived. But Rudi eased me in and showed such expertise and patience I loved every minute. Rudi has such a lovely demeanour explaining everything and effortlessly boosted your confidence. Great day…. Thanks again Rudi."
"I had a great time and learnt a lot. Rudi was super patient while I got to grips with working the metal and plenty of tips to help me create a piece I was satisfied with. I would definitely recommend this experience to others."
"Really enjoyed the day and would recommend. Learnt a lot, made more than I was expecting before the course. "
