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.

Jon E reviewed: Sword Making Workshop in Grassington

"Richard is a great instructor with a clear teaching style and friendly demeanour. The day flew past and at the end of it we came away with a magnificent pair of matching longswords. I would heartily recommend this experience, or any of the others that Richard offers."

"Very good! We had a lot of fun! It was hard work but well worth the effort. Very very pleased with the completed rose that we produced :)"

Garry Daniels reviewed: Couple's Rose forging day in Grassington

"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."
