Dominic O'Riordan reviewed: Beginners blacksmithing course - 3 days

"We did the three day beginners' course. This is a fantastic course with an expert craftsman, team and equipment. They were fun, challenging, intensive full days at the forge. We managed to do a lot more than I thought would be feasible. It is really well organised, great teacher and worth the cost. Thanks Peat and team. Hoping to do the tool making or leaf course next."

Colin Iveson reviewed: Make your own blacksmithing tools - 3 day course

"This was my second course with Peat and I loved every minute of it. It adds fuel to the spark of interest you had on the beginner course. The whole weekend is really well thought out. The pace of work will keep you busy for all three days, but it's not excessive. you won't have much time for standing around. There is just enough time to make a few mistakes without falling behind. It covers a lot of techniques making the array of tools, some you actually use on the course. It really gets you thinking about the process of forging and shaping and how to apply the techniques. I really recommend this course to any one that has been on a beginner course or a hobbyist. If you are looking for weekend learning from a true master of his art this is it. I promise, you will be inspired. Colin - course date 27April2018"

Arthur reviewed: Make your own blacksmithing tools - 3 day course

"I would recommend this course to anyone interested in making their own blacksmith’s tools. You will make a series of tools; many designed to help make other tools on the course list, along with tools for bending and making scrolls. Peat’s relaxed teaching style and encouragement during the 3 days allowed me to improve significantly on past attempts at tong making and I am now equipped to continue building my tool collection. Peat, the food and the camaraderie all helped make this one of the best courses I have done in any craft discipline."

Janice C reviewed: Beginners blacksmithing course - 3 days

"I went on this course with five friends to celebrate one of my friends sixtieth birthday. When I told people how I was spending part of my half term I was met with unsupportive comments of basically I would never be able to produce anything. How wrong they all were. I produced four highly useful implements which have been shown with pride and received much admiration. The said objects now take pride of place on my fire hearth and in my garden. I cannot believe how absorbed I could become on creating something out of metal but my emotional well being at the end of the course was something to be celebrated. I had ‘hammered’ to my hearts content relieving every ounce of pressure - marvellous. Can I recommend this course? Unreservedly and Peat was the best tutor you could ask for along with Tom his very patient helper."
