Maker's bio

The Urban Crafts Foundation is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company based at Lambourne End Centre for Outdoor Education in Essex. Our fully equipped blacksmiths forge is designed so that we can efficiently teach and carry out commissioned work. We offer classes to members of the public in blacksmithing, coppersmithing and other crafts that we try to keep affordable. These in turn allow us to run subsidised workshops with young people facing challenges that stop them from thriving in mainstream education.

Angela Van Gelder reviewed: Make a copper bowl

"I bought the copper bowl making experience for me and my hubby to try something different, having always been interested in arts and crafts I thought this would be the next step up. I wasn't disappointed, Lizzie is a great teacher, very clear instructions and demonstrations and lots of hints on how to get the best bowl despite having weakness in my arms and hands. I thoroughly enjoyed the half day session and our bowls are already being put to good use :)"

William Heffernan reviewed: Blacksmithing taster session at Urban Crafts Foundation

"I have left feedback on Facebook as well. This is possibly the best experience for me. The three hour course was long enough to taste the craft which was taught by 2 amiable and competent teachers. Keep it up guys. WONDERFUL! William Heffernan."
