"My brother in law and I attended the course and found all aspects enjoyable. We were made welcome and the food and refreshments were excellent. There was no time pressure and we felt that Adrian and Andy were always on hand to provide help and guidance. Communication from the start of booking was great and we would have no hesitation in recommending a course to anyone with an interest in blacksmithing. The value for money was excellent! Very many thanks to Debbie, Adrian and Andy. "

"Thanks Adrian What a cracking day. Always wanted to do this and when Linda (partner) booked it for me, it couldn't come quick enough. Fed and watered throughout the whole day, which was exceptional. After a small demo, supervision was at hand but you were left on your own if they thought you had a grasp of it. At the end of the day I had a spiral metal key fob and a dragon faced 3-hooked coat hanger. Adrian and Andy were phenomenal instructors backed up by Debbie on the catering front. If you get the chance, go for it, as it will not disappoint Mark Bill Quay. Gateshead "

Patryk reviewed: Blacksmithing Introduction courses in Yorkshire and the North East

"I recently participated in Adrian Wood Artist Blacksmiths one-day blacksmithing experience, and I must say it was fantastic! The friendly atmosphere created by the instructors made me feel welcome right from the start. Their professionalism in blacksmithing was evident, and they guided us through each step with patience and skill. The workshop had a great vibe, with the sound of hammers and sparks flying. It was captivating to witness the transformation of raw materials into beautiful objects. The whole experience was enjoyable and educational, leaving me with a sense of accomplishment. To top it off, the organisers provided a delicious lunch prepared by Debbie that added to the overall experience. Gathering around a table, sharing stories, and enjoying good food with fellow participants created a sense of camaraderie. I highly recommend this one-day blacksmithing experience to anyone interested in the craft. The friendly atmosphere, professionalism, and tasty lunch made it an unforgettable and worthwhile adventure. Highly recommend Adrian Wood Artist Blacksmiths. And one more time thanks to everyone for such a good time."

Andrew reviewed: Blacksmithing Introduction courses in Yorkshire and the North East

"Had a great day making a key fob and a dragon coat hook rail. I have never done anything like this before so was a complete novice, but Ade and Andy gave excellent instruction and it was fantastic to get “hands on” with the fire and the tools. The sense of achievement you get from producing something successfully is wonderful. The tea and flapjack on arrival was good, the lunch superb, and the tea and cakes in the afternoon lovely. All in all a great experience which I would thoroughly recommend."

"An excellent day. Plenty of support, help and encouragement. I am very proud of the two garden flowers that I made. I thoroughly recommend this course. Food is very good too. A lot of hammering is involved so you might want to bring some leather gloves if you are liable to blisters."

"Had an absolutely fantastic day on the flower making course. Adrian and Andy were great teachers, they explained how to make the flowers then let you get creative in your own way but always there to help/advice when required. The day was made even better by Debbie's extremely tasty and wholesome lunch. Have booked my next course already!"

"A superb day from start to finish. Adrian, Andy and Debbie were all very welcoming and I can not recommend doing this course enough! I will be going back and hopefully taking friends with me. The instruction had the right amount of demonstration and supervision whilst also just letting you crack on and hit things with a hammer. The food was delicious and over all this course is exceptional value for money. "
