Justine Hackney reviewed: One day blacksmithing course in West Wales

"Bought the one day course as a pressie for ny cratsman hubby. Deliberately chose this provider because of the significant experience and art background of Aarom. My husband loved it and came home hugely inspired and with a plethora of beautiful things he'd made. In all honesty, access to this level of expertise is probably worth more than what I paid. Definitely more than your typical bash out a single simple item course on offer elsewhere. Highly recommended and thank you Aaron for making Colin's day so rewarding. He was thrilled."

A and T Petersen Ltd responded:

"Thank you. Really pleased Colin got lots out of the day and enjoyed himself Aaron and Trudi "

John Gosler reviewed: 2 day blacksmithing courses

"I've just done the 2 day course with Aaron and I can thoroughly recommend it. He's a great teacher, very skilled and patient and creates a very good atmosphere which makes it easy to learn. I feel after only 2 days I have enough of the basics that I can get myself some gear and have a go. It doesn't require a huge financial outlay to get started too. I'd be happy to do another course in this beautiful part of the world before too long, thanks for everything."

A and T Petersen Ltd responded:

"Hi John, thank you for your five star review. We appreciate it. Really glad that you enjoyed the weekend and that you got to meet Aaron's dad as well, as a bit of a blast from the past. Trudi and Aaron "

Laura reviewed: One day blacksmithing course in West Wales

"A and T Petersen Ltd blacksmithing course was excellent. We had a really great time learning how to make a set of coat hooks and a poker and rake for bbq or fire. There were just the two of us, and groups tend to only go to four, so everyone gets the attention they need. Aaron was a really friendly teacher, who was patient and stepped into help when needed. Tea and biscuits were readily available, and lots of chat throughout the day meant that time flew by. I would definitely recommend, and would like to book again at some point!"

A and T Petersen Ltd responded:

"Thank you for your review and recommendation. We would love to have you back. Very pleased that you enjoyed the day.- Trudi and Aaron "
