Pete Ramsay reviewed: One day blacksmithing course

"Just spent a fantastic weekend on a two day blacksmith course with Julian Wadsworth in his forge, full of facinating old equipment and machinery, both operational and some not yet restored. I immediately felt welcome and at home with Julian's friendly, gentle manner and regular mugs of proper tea (loose leaves, teapots, strainers and everything. Brilliant!) An incredibly talented craftsman with an equally impressive ability to pass on his knowledge, in the two days we covered a wide range of techniques with loads of hands on forging resulting in a really cool toasting fork, a candle holder and a very fancy poker, all now sitting in my hearth. This excellent and thoroughly enjoyable course gives a real taste of this ancient craft. Many thanks Julian."

"I have just completed a very enjoyable two day course with Julian. Over the two days I made a really nice poker & a bracket for a hanging basket that looks very arts & crafts . My family are very impressed and I cannot believe that I made something so amazing. Julian is a very talented Blacksmith and I could only describe him as the Rick Stien of the Blacksmith world (not that old though). He is an excellent teacher, good company & very patient. I would highly recommend him if you would like to try a Blacksmith course."

"Thank you Julian for a great evening of learning everything I needed to know about MIG welding and more. You gave me so much information and so many skills. You fully appreciated what I want to do with my welding skills and tailored your advice to completely meet my needs. Thank you so much and I will definitely be back for more courses in the future."

Elaine Hall reviewed: One day blacksmithing course

"Spent a very enjoyable day with Julian at the weekend - learning a range of basic blacksmithing skills to come away with a very impressive looking toasting fork - so good in fact, that some people doubt I made it! I'd never done anything like this before, but Julian is a very good and patient teacher. He's also good company, and makes plenty of cups of tea during the day to keep you going. I'd highly recommend this course to anyone thinking of giving blacksmithing a try. It's amazing what you can do in a day."

"We spent Saturday with Julian making a poker, toasting fork and fire brush between the two of us. We really enjoyed the day, it was extremely hands on, and the pieces we made are very professional looking and look great by the side of our fire. I'd definitely recommend this course and may go back for another session, when my "bashing" arm has recovered!"
