Matthew Evans reviewed: One day blacksmithing course in West Wales

"This was without a doubt one of if not the best experiences i have had. Aaron was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. what meant a to lot to me was that you were shown what to do and then Aaron just let you get on with it, nothing better than hands on experience. I will absolutely be doing the next course they offer. Thank you Aaron for a fantastic day."

David Marklow reviewed: 2 day blacksmithing courses

"This was a great course to do, Aaron was an amazing talented tutor explaining each stage of the smithing process. I rarely have enjoyed such a craft course as this one . Top draw training from a super talented Master blacksmith. If your unsure about doing this course put any doubts to one side, it was a fantastic two days working in the forge…I made a coat hook rack, a pair of fireside tongs and a Rams head poker absolutely chuffed.. Thank you Aaron "

Simon L reviewed: One day blacksmithing course in West Wales

"What a superb day I had. A course to enjoy for anyone, regardless of background, age or experience. Aaron is a fount of knowledge and experience, and very welcoming. You can't fail to have a good time casting yourself to the role of a blacksmith. I could easily get hooked on this as a hobby, just need to persuade the other half to let me buy a furnace, anvil, some tools, .......!! ;o)"

A and T Petersen Ltd responded:

"Thanks for your review Simon. Yes it's very addictive......you need a forge now 😁"

V. Holloway reviewed: One day blacksmithing course in West Wales

"Really great day. First time doing blacksmithing. I loved what I made and will return. Aaron is a really good tutor, explained everything, demonstrated, helped me when I found it difficult but allowed me to just get on with it as well. No hesitation in recommending this workshop. "
