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

"We had such a great time with Adrian and Andy, and the other "students". It was a joy to spend the day learning a new skill and we were really pleased with how much we were able to learn in 1 day. Plus Debbie's cooking alone is worth the trip, I'll be coming back for a second helping of crumble. Thanks to you all for a fab day! Helen & Phil"

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

"I had an absolutely tremendous time at the Blacksmithing taster session, and learned a great deal indeed about something that I've only been able to observe from an outside standpoint until now. Huge thanks to Adrian and Andy for the opportunity and instruction on not only hitting hot pieces of metal, but on making those pieces of metal look good. Lunch (as I'm sure you've seen by the other comments and reviews) was delicious and much appreciated. The whole day was a lot of fun, and well worth the long drive both there and back. Definitely ignited a new passion that I hope to pursue in the future."

Vicki & David H reviewed: Blacksmithing Beginners day courses in Yorkshire and the North East

"This was our introduction to blacksmithing and what a great day we had. Expert tuition and first class hospitality. We made a pair of candlesticks and despite the blisters can't wait for the follow on course next year."

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

"Thanks to Adrian and Debbie for another great day and superb hospitality. This is my 4th course with them and I left with another set of skills that I can use at home and lots of inspiration. The tuition, supervision and support is just right and all the courses I have done have been really excellent. If you think trying blacksmithing could be for you then definitely give it a go as you won't be disappointed. it might even be the introduction you need for a new hobby as it has been for me."

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

"My blacksmithing day was the result of a surprise birthday present from my son and daughter. I had a terrific time being taught how to make a scroll key ring and dragon coat hook by Adrian and the irrepressible Andy whose sense of humour kept us all amused the whole day. Frankly, I've never know a day fly-by so quickly. Food and drink was served all day including a lovely hot meal at mid day by Debbie. Thank you all very much for such a great day .

Sam and Neal Toulson reviewed: Blacksmithing Beginners day courses in Yorkshire and the North East

"Fantastic day. Warmly welcomed by Debbie, Adrian and Andy. Extremely relaxed environment, great food and fantastic instruction throughout the day. Only made better by the great group of participants. One old tradesman and one slightly older tradesman learned some great new skills."

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

"An unexpected fathers day gift - I am not known as a DIYer or handyman, in fact quite the reverse, but I really enjoyed this course and far exceeded my expectations in terms of what I was able to achieve. My ramshead poker is proudly displayed in our fireplace and will bring back memories of a great day for many years to come."

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

"This course was a inspired birthday gift from my wife. The wait since July has been torture. A warm welcome by Debbie, Adrian and Andy put everyone at ease and I could not stop smiling all day. I was tutored and guided to produce something that was totally unexpected (a Rams head fire poker) and it is now in pride of place within my fire place. Adrian, I believe, gets as much pleasure from watching our"

Gemma & Chris reviewed: Blacksmithing Beginners day courses in Yorkshire and the North East

"This was our second course with Adrian and Andy as we had enjoyed the first so much. This time we made a fire poker (me) and a toasting fork (Chris) and we're thrilled with them. Both Adrian & Andy are incredibly skilled and patient, taking you through what you'll be creating step by step and helping out when necessary. Debbie provides delicious home made lunch, dessert and cake to finish off the day. Despite being with 6 different people each time there was still a brilliant atmosphere which is all down to Adrian, Debbie and Andy. They are all so easy to talk to and make the day so enjoyable. I guarantee one course won't be enough, we'll be back for our third go!!"

Helen and Allan Thomas reviewed: Blacksmithing Beginners day courses in Yorkshire and the North East

"An excellent day! We were given a warm welcome by Debbie, Adrian and Andy on arrival and after a nice cup of coffee and homemade biscuits, Adrian gave us a demonstration of the key ring we would be making. I did have a moment of "wow, I'll never be able to do that" but, with the excellent Andy and Adrian on hand to advise, we both surprised ourselves and were really proud of our creations. In the afternoon we made dragon coatracks, which again, we couldn't believe how well they turned out. It was a lot of fun, quite hard work, but also a really positive experience of feeling like we'd achieved something. As an added bonus, the home cooked lunch provided by Debbie was exceptionally good. The homemade cake at tea time was equally as delicious. We will definitely be back for more courses. Would recommend to anyone looking to do something a little bit different."

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

"This was a surprise Fathers Day present, something I have wanted to do for decades.. I was greeted by Adrian, Andy and Debbie, with tea/coffee and great biscuits.. The course was perfect for anyone.. when you start trying things yourself, you just realise how good blacksmiths really are.. I can't really say anything different to all the other reviews.. Just get yourselves booked on the next available one.. I haven't stopped grinning from ear to ear since doing it. The homemade food an puddings for lunch was amazing (Thanks Debbie) and the cake after we finished was wonderful.. Did I say Book a course now.. ? yes.. well do it then.. I will be again.."
