J.S reviewed: Blacksmith experience day in Sheffield

"Oh my gosh what an amazing day - I booked myself and my partner onto this course and we have been telling everybody about how much fun it was. David is a really down to earth chap who made the whole experience really enjoyable; his techniques and methods for teaching and explaining the processes really helped cement our learning and we came home with some absolutely gorgeous pieces that with his guidance, we crafted ourselves. I would highly recommend this course - to anybody who is contemplating doing it, just go for it! Thank you so much David, we hope to see you again in the future :)"

"A very enjoyable day. One to one tutition in a historic forge learning the basics of a very skillful profession. David obviously loves his profession and that shows through in his patience and encouragement for beginners. A course well worth taking."

Peter Ferguson reviewed: Blacksmith experience day in Sheffield

"Thank you David, for a very enjoyable experience in smithing. I thought I might enjoy it, but my wife called my bluff and booked the day as a birthday present. I really, really enjoyed it. A large part of that is due to David’s very low key style. It’s a bit daunting grabbing hold of a metal bar glowing red or orange hot at the other end, and then taking a hammer to it. After the first time it quickly becomes normal and the challenging part is just to absorb new skills. David makes that happen, and before you know it you’ve made your first piece. A great instructor. On the drive back to Manchester I was already wanting to do it again / do more. Highly recommended."
