Description
Blacksmithing classes in Cheshire. The main project at hand is an elaborately hand forged hanging basket bracket, 0.5m x 0.5m, entailing a number of blacksmithing techniques, as I demonstrate how to forge each part. A second project is at hand, which is a diamond pointed fire poker. As the day progresses, I will weld all parts together so both projects can be taken home.
What's included in the price?
Coal and metal needed to work with will be provided, along with appropriate safety gear for your day. Tea or coffee can be provided, but best bring a packed lunch, as it saves precious time queueing at the museum canteen.

FAQs
Not necessarily as you won't be carrying or lifting anything heavy although hardy footwear is advisable.
There is a choice of parking space due to the Museum's own open parking area and a public parking area around the back very close to the back of my forge which would be more convenient for you.
Not necessarily as it depends how many book a blacksmithing class on a particular designated day, as I can accommodate a maximum of five for a class.
