Rachel and Andrew reviewed: Blacksmithing Course for two in a traditional forge on Dartmoor

"If you are totally new to blacksmithing, or have dabbled a bit but want to build your confidence, I recommend this course in the highest terms. Greg could not have been more kind and patient. My partner and I are autistic and struggle a bit with motor skills and understanding at times (well, me more than him!). While able to explain things clearly and happy to support me as a total newbie, Greg was also able to enthuse with my partner over the craft and to assist him with a project of his own design. This flexibility was hugely appreciated. We had a truly fabulous and extremely memorable day, and both learnt some skills we can be proud of. We will display our projects with great excitement in our new home. Thank you so very much, Greg. "

"I did this course a few days ago, and it was everything I hoped it would be! From learning how to build up and maintain the fire, correct management of the temperature so as to not melt the Steel (which I may have done), and forging my own hook to take home alongside some other pieces, this was a brilliant day. I learned a lot from Greg and it has really solidified my desire to start blacksmithing as a hobby. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in the traditional way of blacksmithing, and anyone wanting a really good day out. I had no previous experience at all before going, but Greg has a no-pressure approach to his teaching, and can help you have a great time."

"Had a brilliant day learning the incredible art of blacksmithing and left with a forged poker I was proud of. Greg is a very friendly and encouraging teacher who will effectively help and guide you during the project while also stepping back and letting you express your own ideas for your craft. I couldn't recommend the course enough, I had a great time."
