Nichola (Nic-Nat) reviewed: Full day introductory knifemaking course

"Wicked Fun, Awesome course and tutor :-), Definitely would love to do another blacksmithing day or 2 again. Very interesting facts, and a eye opener to different skills and techniques to the blacksmithing crafting world. Went as a group of four on my cousin's birthday, a complete novice, yet with the brilliant friendly guidance and loads of help from Matt (tutor) and Floyd we all produced 4 great starter hooks and 4 striking knives. A memorable challenge that can be done reaping great rewarding achievements. "

Ben reviewed: Full day introductory knifemaking course

"My friends and I did the day of knife making with Matt and it was such a great day. Matt and Floyd greeted us, got us sorted with a cup of tea and went through how the forge works, safety, and a demonstration efficiently and had us making our first hooks in no time which I really appreciate. Within the first hour we were on to starting the knives and it was a lot fun (and lots and lots of hard work!). Matt helped us out and gave us tips and tricks along the way, as well as fixing our mistakes. By the end of the day we had some functional knives that looked pretty good for a first attempt as well as aching arms. We decided to eat at the King's Head pub a little down the road before the drive home and Matt and Floyd joined us for a drink and we spent a while chatting. Overall, I couldn't recommend this experience enough. It was so much fun, enjoyably difficult, and we felt like we got more value out of the experience than what we paid for. Cheers Matt and Floyd! We'll be back to make a sword soon."
