Peter Britnell reviewed: Couple - Blacksmith Beginners Experience Day

"I booked the blacksmithing day as a birthday present for my brother, and it turned out to be an incredible experience for both of us! Neither of us had done anything like this before, but Richard was an amazing teacher, knowledgeable, patient, and great at explaining everything in a way that made it easy to follow. We felt really supported throughout the day and were so proud of the pieces we created entirely by hand. The whole experience was hands-on, rewarding, and genuinely fun. Highly recommend this course to anyone looking to try something new, you’ll walk away with a great memory and something you’ve made yourself!"

Mick Scothern reviewed: Couple - Blacksmith Beginners Experience Day

"My friend and I had a wonderful day with Richard, his passion along with his skill made it a joy to learn. He was happy to go as slow as required to impart the skills which enabled even a complete novice like myself to make a set of coat hooks which now take pride of place in my cloakroom. I thoroughly recommend this to anyone who has seen it being done and thought I’d like a try."

Mick & Des reviewed: Couple - Blacksmith Beginners Experience Day

"This was booked by our better halves as a gift and we both thoroughly enjoyed the day. Richard’s communications before the courses prepared us well and we were warmly welcomed on the day. His obvious experience, knowledge and passion were well balanced against his relaxed teaching style and patience throughout the day. A great experience that we would recommend to anyone wanting to play with fire and hammers. "

"What an amazing day! Richard made us feel very welcome. He is a great teacher, breaking down the activities into easy and understandable stages and providing as much support as you needed. We were delighted by what we had produced by the end of the day and would recommend this course to anybody as a great value and enjoyable experience. Thank you Richard."
