Maker's bio

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.

"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."

Graeme Dentith reviewed: Damascus knife making in Grassington

"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"

"I booked this mainly for my boyfriend to make a knife and we loved it. I was genuinely terrible at blacksmithing (couldn’t hit it hard enough, melted the entire thing multiple times) and Richard was so helpful in making sure I left with a knife LOL. Really fun day out and a great gift!"
