I'm Richard, a traditionally trained blacksmith with a passion for ironwork. I trained at Hereford's National School of Blacksmithing which gave me an excellent start into the world of forging metal. I moved to Yorkshire to be close to family and start my own business, which has given me the opportunity to offer classes so that others can have a taste of what it is like to be a blacksmith.
Some examples of what can be made in the class can be seen in the gallery.
"Me and the wife had an absolute blinder of a day as blacksmiths to celebrate our 6th anniversary (the theme being iron). Richard is a great tutor and soon got us going with making the components for the rose. We're happy with the end result too and even found time to make bottle openers!
Many thanks Richard, already recommending it to friends and family."
"Excellent day. My husband & 2 friends attended as a surprise present. They found Richard to be very knowledgable about blacksmithing and explained all the processes well. They would definitely recommend this course."
"Thank you Richard for a thoroughly enjoyable day making my damask bladed knife. I found the whole process immensely rewarding, turning a raw metal bar into a thing of use and beauty (well I think it’s beautiful) and as we know, it’s sharp! How’s your finger?😇
I’m seriously considering another go👍
Thanks again,
Graeme Dentith"
