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. "

A and T Petersen Ltd responded:

"Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're very pleased that you enjoyed the day and thank you for the recommendation."

John Blevin reviewed: One day blacksmithing course in West Wales

"Yes and now recommending to wife of a friend ...the perfect present for the person who can't stop making, fiddling, tinkering and who already has more than enough tools bought as presents already. Also provides the giver with a quiet day to do what they want they want. best present i ever got...they made it an excellent days experience. 5 star P.S. still got the poker"

A and T Petersen Ltd responded:

"Thank you for your review and for recommending the course to others. We're really pleased that you enjoyed your day and really chuffed that this was the best present that you'd ever had. What a brilliant comment, thank you ❤️"

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 "
