You'll be provided with all the necessary equipment, including a leather apron and PPE, so all you need to bring is a curious mind and a willingness to learn. You'll be instructed on making your first ever item to take away with you.
After your first lesson if you wish to return for more you'll have the creative freedom to make anything you desire, whether it's a practical item like a bottle opener or a decorative piece like a fire poker. The possibilities are endless! You'll walk away with a fine piece that you've crafted with your very own hands.

I teach blacksmithing and do my best to inspire people to do what they have never done before. I’ll show you how’s it’s done today and how it was done in the past, From first timers through to more experienced, you will be bending steel like you've never done before.
