We both thoroughly enjoyed our blacksmith experience day! We both opted to make a rose and can’t believe how well they turned out! Dan was an excellent tutor, very informative and fun. The experience was very hands on with help and demonstrations always at hand, we felt we had a great experience of what’s involved in blacksmithing and left with a whole new appreciation for the craft!We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this experience to anyone!

Had a great full day forging with Dan, the day flew by. Dan makes you feel at ease from the off and is an excellent teacher, throwing in pearls of wisdom that can be used beyond the forge. This was exemplified by the fact so much forging was achieved in the day by a complete novice. Thanks Dan
