"I was lucky enough to be gifted the two day blacksmithing experience with Alex and what an experience it was! He educated me on a lot of the history behind such a unique trade, the various tools within the forge and where his love and learning of this skill stemmed from.
I loved getting to create my very own pieces, with Alex's calm and confident guidance. I made a Lily sculpture for my garden and a dragon bottle open for my friend. Getting to work in such an old forge at Amberley Working Museum - which has seen many a creation made, added to the magical experience I had. I'm very proud of what I was able to make with Alex's knowledgable tuition and will definitely be turning my hand to the heat again someday in the future. Ps.... The snacks were very welcomed too! 👍"

"Hi Orla,
Thanks so much for the great review and going to the time to say how you enjoyed the experience.
It's really nice to hear!
I'm happy you made yourself proud with the Lilies you made. You did a great job!
