Maker's bio

I'm Richard, a traditionally trained blacksmith with a passion for ironwork. I trained at Hereford's National School of Blacksmithing which gave me an excellent start into the world of forging metal. I moved to Yorkshire to be close to family and start my own business, which has given me the opportunity to offer classes so that others can have a taste of what it is like to be a blacksmith. Some examples of what can be made in the class can be seen in the gallery.

Áine Musgrave reviewed: Couple's Rose forging day in Grassington

"What a fantastic day my husband and I had. Richard was amazing at coaching us and helping us to get the most out of our day and also end up with a beautiful memento to treasure. Will definitely book with him again 😊"

"Apologies as my review doesn't seem to have published ! I booked this course as a surprise for my husbands birthday as it's something he's always wanted to do. From the outset, Richard was fantastic advising me on the booking. The location was brilliant and really well set up. Needless to say hubby had a brilliant day and loved every minute of this experience in October 2024. Thanks Richard and he's using his knife. Would highly recommend "

"Got my partner a Blacksmithing Experience (5 hours) for his birthday and he loved it! He said it was great to try something so different and create a fire poker from scratch. Richard was very helpful and shared his skills with enthusiasm. "
