Andrew Kay reviewed: 1 to 1 Bladesmithing or Blacksmithing

"I took the full days bladesmithing course with Ian the blacksmith, and had a great time. Ian is a great teacher & communicator. I learnt a lot of new techniques with him. We put the world to rights whilst making my knife blade, and I came away with a much better knife than I ever expected to be able to make. The day flew by. Altogether an excellent experience & one that I would recommend to anybody"

"Iain is a very chatty and friendly person who was very patient with me, letting me go at a pace that I felt comfortable with and expertly guiding me to create a unique hand forged kitchen knife. A long day of hammering, sharpening and buffing but very enjoyable and worth the money. "

Matthew reviewed: 1 to 1 Bladesmithing or Blacksmithing

"It was a real privilege to learn firsthand from Iain as well as work with and within the historical grounds of the industrial Hamlet. Iain's course was thorough and well-guided and offered me a much sought-after hands-on experience using a real Victorian forge bashing metal out for the first time. Iain was also very patient and friendly and took to great lengths to show me the process and techniques it takes to forge a blade. I would say if you want a real authentic start-to-finish blacksmithing and forging experience, this would be it. I'd highly recommend it and I thank Iain for the opportunity too. "
