Description
We will begin with casting pewter using a variety of moulding materials and techniques. This means you will create a small art piece or sculpture by melting metal and pouring it into a mould. You will light the traditional blacksmiths forge to take you back to times gone by. We will also discuss how to cast at home and explore the different finishes and textures that can be achieved with the varied materials and tools. Courses are a maximum of four people. It’s a very relaxed morning, everything is done at your own pace. Safety glasses, gloves and aprons are provided. Please wear steel toecaps if possible, or walking boots, jeans and long sleeve non flammable top. Lunch not included. Hot and cold drinks provided throughout the morning. Shop within 1 mile of forge. Fridge and microwave available.

Maker
I discovered blacksmithing a little later in life and trained at the National School of Blacksmithing in Hereford. Before this, blacksmithing and metalwork was a hobby. I’m now a maker of things, one-of-a-kind builds and love crazy ideas. Over the last few years I’ve been lucky enough to work on a lot of amazing projects including castles, film props, sculptures, and one off unique art pieces. If it needs to be historically accurate or just a repair to your favourite old thing, I’m more than happy to help,
