North Yorkshire - Next course on 7th December 2020

The course is run by full-time blacksmith and experienced teacher David Stephenson. Forging skills are largely learned by experience so the course is very hands-on. During the morning we work on a range of forging skills, including tapering,controlled bending,punching, twisting,and riveting. We work on real projects so that students have a range of small completed items to take home. After lunch we work on a more ambitious project, developing the skills covered during the morning and extending into splitting and possibly fire welding.
