Charles reviewed: "Playing with fire" An Introduction to Artist Blacksmithing with Conan

"What a wicked experience - would totally recommend to anyone. Conan is a great tutor - easy going, and supportive. I'd never tried forging and blacksmithing before and could see myself exploring this area again., Conan also rents out workshop space so once you've done the basics you can hire the space by the day. I did a day course and made a knife from an old file and thinking about going back for the day to make a garden sculpture "

Conan Sturdy, Blacksmith responded:

"Thanks Charles- the knife came out quite nice 👍"

Nina reviewed: "Playing with fire" An Introduction to Artist Blacksmithing with Conan

"What a fun day... blacksmithing is fun creative and got ideas whirring round for things to make next time. For the first half if the day I learned about the basics, forging a taper and had a go on the power hammer- which is a mechanical hammer. In the second half I made a knife from a file, forging the shape and grinding an edge.... there was just enough time to out a handle on it and ill finish the sharpening off at home in the kitchen. Something very nice about making your first knife "

Conan Sturdy, Blacksmith responded:

"Hi Nina, thanks for coming down to the workshop and giving blacksmithing a try.... I hope your first knife gets some good use in the kitchen. All the best "

"Came and did the blacksmithing day with Conan at his workshop in Streatham. I was surprised how easy forging hot metal was. I made some plant supports for the garden and might come back for another lesson next year with my grandson "

Conan Sturdy, Blacksmith responded:

"Hi Fiona, thanks for coming down to the workshop and making your plant supports- please send some pictures of them 😊"

Gordon beith reviewed: Introduction to MIG welding and metal fabrication with Conan Sturdy, Artist Blacksmith

"A good introduction to welding and metal fabrication. The morning was spent practicing welding techniques and in the afternoon we constructed a small project piece using the knowledge gained in the morning. Conan is highly attentive to his students offering lots of advice and guidance along the way. Nothing was too much trouble for him."

Conan Sturdy, Blacksmith responded:

"The project came out quite nice 👍🏻 Thanks for coming down "
