Dave Wescott reviewed: Blacksmithing Beginners day courses in Yorkshire and the North East

"This was a birthday gift from my partner and I attended the course two weeks ago. Having done many things in my life, I have to say this was definitely one of the best things I have ever done. Adrian and Andy are excellent hosts and storytellers as well as being very skilled at what they do - they produce some genuinely imaginative things. They are most welcoming and there is no messing about - straight into heating and bashing hot steel from the off. The instruction is more gentle guidance and everybody there on the day got along well because of the way it was presented. The day was supported by the great food produced by Debbie and if you are considering being a vegetarian, then she will certainly give you food for thought. A most wonderful experience and if you are considering attending a course then stop considering and book yourself a place."

Clare reviewed: Blacksmithing Beginners day courses in Yorkshire and the North East

"Excellent Christmas present. Bashing pieces of hot steel is an ideal way to spend a Saturday after a hard week at work. Adrian and Andy were very patient with the right level of support. Debbie was very welcoming providing lovely food to keep us going. I would definitely recommend but get in quick as the courses are booked up quickly. I will be going back as I really enjoyed the day."

Richard Wriglesworth reviewed: Blacksmithing Beginners day courses in Yorkshire and the North East

"Very enjoyable day with just the right level of guidance & assistance i.e. shown how to do it and always around to check if one was struggling but let you get on and do it yourself. Nice lunch & homemade cake & biscuit selection plus much admired dragon coat rack and keyring at the end of it."

David Frost reviewed: Blacksmithing Beginners day courses in Yorkshire and the North East

"Great day. Adrian and Andy gave an excellent demonstration of what we were about to make and were then on hand to give help and advice at just the right level. Not just stepping in, but allowing each student to work through the processes but always there if needed. Debbie was very welcoming and provided some great food to keep everyone fuelled up for the day. Would recommend one of their courses to anyone."

brendan reviewed: Blacksmithing Beginners day courses in Yorkshire and the North East

"Interested in blacksmithing? Definitely do this course, lovely people, lovely food and a top notch experience making things with hot steel. Plenty of help if you need it and plenty of space for being left to do your own thing, just the way things should be taught in a friendly and fun way. Highly recommended by me."

Matthew Richardson reviewed: Blacksmithing Beginners day courses in Yorkshire and the North East

"Brilliant weekend doing the design and make course. Adrian and Andy are excellent teachers providing as much guidance as you need whilst allowing you to do your own work under their excellent tuition. The food included with the course made by Debbie is always fantastic and as always I left the course feeling I'd achieved a good amount and eager to do more."

Laurence reviewed: Blacksmithing Beginners day courses in Yorkshire and the North East

"Really enjoyed this course. Great instruction, and facilities. Hat's off to Debbie, Adrian and Andy for a lovely day, the small group worked really well with enough space to work and plenty of tools to go round. I was amazed at how quickly we were able to make our first piece (I put it down to good teaching :)). And it really set you up for the next project. Thank you all."

Alan Cuthbert reviewed: Blacksmithing Beginners day courses in Yorkshire and the North East

"The day far exceeded my expectations. A thoroughly enjoyable, highly entertaining day, with excellent food and company. The demonstrations, help and advice couldn't have been better. I was amazed that I was able to produce a splendid coat rack and key ring. The question now is "where can I put a forge in my garden?" I strongly recommend the course. I really have to do another one."

"Got this as a Christmas present and it was one of the best gifts I’ve had. Really friendly and helpful, put us right at ease. Suitable for complete novice, can’t recommend it enough. You will not be disappointed, certainly have the bug now! Thanks to Adrian and Debbie, a great experience."

Stu reviewed: Blacksmithing Beginners day courses in Yorkshire and the North East

"Given to me as a birthday present and would absolutely recommend (not just for the lunch, flapjack and cake, which were awesome). The day was great - from the start it was just get stuck in and give it a go, under Adrian and Andy’s guidance. It’s as challenging as you want to make it, great fun and really opens your eyes to what goes into working with metal - (you’ll never look at a hook the same way again), and of course you get your creations to take away. Really recommend the course and the forge. Brilliant day thanks!"

William Pritchard reviewed: Blacksmithing Beginners day courses in Yorkshire and the North East

"My wife bought this as a gift for my birthday. What an excellent day. The instructions were clear and we were helped along the way to achieve good end results - I was amazed about what I achieved. I proudly took home my efforts, and my young grandson was amazed with the results. It was informal, relaxed and friendly with the addition of a lovely lunch and snacks provided by Debbie. My friends will all be hearing about this great day. I would recommend this day to those wanting to understand the process and maybe start a new hobby. Thank you Adrian Andy and Debbie. Plus a big thank you to my wife Lesley for this wonderful gift."
