"Thanks Greg for a great day learning some of the forging techniques. I have spent my entire life in Devon, growing up in a rural setting where there was a blacksmith still operating. As lads in the village we spent some time there in the warmth of the forge. So was great to actually get some hands on experience with an enthusiastic teacher. I came away with a poker and of course the hook, that is the hanging variety not the chopping kind. Cheers Greg."

"My wife and son bought me this experience for my birthday, I was super excited on the morning of the course and met Greg at the front of the forge, after explaining how the forge works Greg lit the forge and got straight into the experience, all of the protective equipment was provided and I felt safe with a knowledgeable blacksmith guiding me throughout the process, Greg was able to see when I was flagging and suggested breaks when he thought they were needed, cups of tea were happily provided and accepted. I walked away at the end of the day proudly carrying the large toasting fork that will be fantastic to use around the campfire and the hook to hang this up. I would highly recommend this one to one Blacksmithing course to anyone and everyone thank you Greg"

"I did this course a few days ago, and it was everything I hoped it would be! From learning how to build up and maintain the fire, correct management of the temperature so as to not melt the Steel (which I may have done), and forging my own hook to take home alongside some other pieces, this was a brilliant day. I learned a lot from Greg and it has really solidified my desire to start blacksmithing as a hobby. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in the traditional way of blacksmithing, and anyone wanting a really good day out. I had no previous experience at all before going, but Greg has a no-pressure approach to his teaching, and can help you have a great time."
