Time to get your hands dirty and let the sparks fly. Take the chance to make some interesting bits and pieces to take home with you. A great experience for novices to try your hands at one of the oldest trades.

The course is open to all over the age of 16. We can accommodate groups, couples, stag & hen dos.

The day will be spent at the anvil working with hot steel, sparks and fire. Over the day we will cover the basics and produce a range of items including hooks, key rings, letter openers, Fire pokers and many other bits and pieces.

Run by Master Blacksmith William Holland FWCB of Phoenix Forge.

The courses are typically run in small groups to ensure that everyone gets as much one on one tuition as they require to develop their skills.

The courses are run in a dedicated professional forge, which is relaxed working environment you will be given the time to progress at your own speed to build your confidence in working with the tools and the hot metal.

If you have done some forging already that’s great too, we can demonstrate more elaborate techniques and tricks to help you progress further.
