Mike C. reviewed: Blacksmithing Course (one to one) in a traditional forge on Dartmoor

"Thanks Greg for a great day learning some of the forging techniques. I have spent my entire life in Devon, growing up in a rural setting where there was a blacksmith still operating. As lads in the village we spent some time there in the warmth of the forge. So was great to actually get some hands on experience with an enthusiastic teacher. I came away with a poker and of course the hook, that is the hanging variety not the chopping kind. Cheers Greg."

Moreton Forge responded:

"Hello Mike, Thank you for the review."

"A great day in truly wonderful surroundings. Exactly how a workshop should be, every imaginable tool and bags of history. Greg is a great tutor, laid back but clearly very skilful and knowledgeable. He was able to take us through the whole process with the minimum of fuss, letting us explore and learn to complete our chosen projects. A really enjoyable day."

Moreton Forge responded:

"Thanks Dave, Glad you had a good day, I did. Greg"
