Andy W reviewed: Blacksmith Experience Day (4hrs)

"This is without doubt one of the most enjoyable, informative and interesting activities I have ever done. Dan is a fantastic instructor. Someone who has that rare ability to be able to transfer his wealth of knowledge and blacksmithing ability and deliver it in a way that is easy to understand and act on yourself. Dan made it so even a complete novice to blacksmithing like myself felt confident and had real self belief in forging on the day. Dan was always available to answer any question I had, be that about forging in general, things about the day itself and everything in between. I was so chuffed with the fire poker in particular that we forged. I would never have envisaged myself being able to make something like it and make it look so good. A testament to the quality of Dan as a teacher and his guidance. I cannot shout loudly enough about this course and about Dan as an instructor. It really ticks all the boxes of what a great experience activity is. I recommend it to everyone and will definitely be back for more myself in the near future."

Taran Dryden-Furneaux reviewed: 2 Day Damascus knife Making Course

"Thank you Dan and Elliot. The 2 day Damascus steel knife making workshop was fantastic. I began the knife making workshop with no previous experience in blacksmithing and was deftly guided through the process by Elliot, who was happy to answer all my questions about process and method, also a few about smelting and the origins of Damascus steel. It's hard work, but worth it. Chefs kiss good. "

Rose London reviewed: Introduction to Blacksmithing 2 Day

"Really enjoyed the two day course here, I will definitely be back ! - I had so much fun and learnt so much in a short space of time. Dan is a really good teacher and even though I have really no experience of blacksmithing he helped me along a lot and I'm so proud of what I made, especially the rose! It's nice as well that I reckon I could get myself going at a forge myself if i wanted to to improve my skills in my own time :-) "

"An amazing workshop for those that want to try out some blacksmithing! Dan is a very skilled tutor who gives very clear and helpful instructions, but also really lets his students do the learning themselves. I had a great time and left with a very nice object that I can be proud of! The new forge is also a beautiful space to learn in."
