Recent reviews of Blacksmithing Workshop: Forge a Rose
- 5/5 from Nigel Foyster, attended Feb 2026: Really enjoyed it!
- 5/5 from Natalie Krotova, attended Aug 2025: What a lovely workshop! Amazing humans and a furry friend :) Steve and Hugo were amazing, guiding and supporting everyone and showing great hospitality. Instructions were clear, with all the safety measures in place. You will be able to make a beautiful rose, which you will love. Give it a go, and also treat someone special to a gift of this workshop. Highly recommended!
- 5/5 from Olivia Hines, attended Apr 2025: Great workshop. Very chill vibes. I was impressed with the way the rose was constructed. Perfect for beginners.
- 5/5 from Anna-Mae Ashman, attended Sep 2024: Such an amazing workshop and set up. Thoroughly thought through. Steve is absolutely brilliant as an instructor and as a person. I highly recommend taking one of his workshops, I know that I will be totally back to doing more.
- 5/5 from Claudine Dearn, attended Aug 2024: A great and interesting class that gives you an introductory taste of blacksmithing- using the forge and also working with copper AND allows you to produce a beautiful, original, handmade art piece. Steve is a knowledgeable teacher, and his assistant Hugo was super helpful.....since I was a bit 'remedial'. I also loved Harry the forge's mascot, even though he slept thru most of our session.

Steve offers a rare mix of passion, effervescent energy and a love of people, resulting in memorably experiences where everyone feels welcome... And then... there is Harry, the resident forge hound with an equally sunny disposition who will greet you at the door with a big smile and wet nose!Steve discovered the colourful world of blacksmithing in Belgium, during a midlife sabbatical. Upon return, with two big anvils and a legvice under his belt, he set up a forge in Footscray's picturesque Water's Edge Arts Precinct. In 2013, he initiated Australia's first Blacksmiths Festival, now being held biannually on the banks of the Maribyrnong River and run by a team of volunteers. Steve has a degree in Earth Sciences, studied blacksmithing at the Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, obtained a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment and is currently completing a Certificate in Industrial Blacksmithing at TAFENSW.Apart from teaching, he also offers a well equipped space for members to come together and forge.
