kristofer williamson reviewed: Blacksmithing day courses: making garden flowers

"I have been so many times I should live there! I have done all the courses they do. What you make can be a gift. Great day there, lovely food, all hand made and the cakes too. You just want to keep going. Nice tea and coffee. They know their stuff - all the dos and don'ts of this craft. They are there to help you get what you want out of it. He has been in this business a long long time. They know how to fix stuff on the fly if you do something the wrong way, or if you get too much heat and your work snaps off. They helpfully guide you onto the right path and show you step by step what you need to do. It's a safe place and, depending where you are from, it's fine to get to. Try this one thing in your life! You never know, you might love it and get one at home yourself if you've got space for it. Life goes so fast and you need live it. This is one the of best on here or even the top 1! If you like making things with your hands and hitting metal, seeing it transform in front your eyes, you will love, love this. All are great at talking to you. It's a very understanding place. "

Stuart Littledyke reviewed: Blacksmithing course: blacksmith tool making day

"Well, where do I start. Ok, 2nd course myself and my son have been on. Start of the day was Tea/Coffee biscuits etc. Chat with everyone on the course, Adrian and Andy. This one was tool making. We made a pair of tongs and a steel punch (each) now you’d think that’s a quick job. No,,,, I couldn’t believe how much work was involved. Lots of heating, beating and shaping. Adrian takes you through the process in stages, nice and steady so it’s clear. While you're working, Adrian and Andy are at hand to refresh your memory, give help and advice and pass on their knowledge and expertise. Both Adrian and Andy are top notch at Blacksmithing, you're surrounded by their amazing work in progress and they're happy to chat about it. Be prepared to get dirty and warm if you decide to go, your loss if you don’t have lunch,,, prepared, cooked and served by Debbie. Oh and what a lunch, plenty to go round, all home made (including the breads) and it’s amazing. Yea/coffee as much as you like. Pudding, all homemade and is to die for. Back to it and an enjoyable afternoon beating the steel, chatting and joking. Don’t worry if you have no one to go with, you soon make friends in the forge. Now we ran over time wise, but we kept going until everyone had finished, then drinks, homemade buns and cake. Debbie, you're a star, again amazing grub. Adrian, you're a lucky man. Great atmosphere, good food, brilliant instructions, plenty of help and advice, friendly/professional instructors. Just looking to book the next course now. For what you get, it’s a cheap day out. Thank you everyone, see you soon. "

Be prepared for some of the tastiest homemade/local food, which will help energise you for your day of hammering. I am so glad that I did it, and would recommend it to anyone else without hesitation.

"What a day, can't recommend it enough. The atmosphere, instruction and experience were all fantastic. The team did a great job of putting everybody at ease and were very attentive and encouraging throughout the day. Not to distract from the blacksmith experience itself, but it must be said that the food and pre/post course communication was also great. Definitely one for you to have a go at and we all came away with the key ring and the Dragon coat hook. looking to do my next course with Adrian and the team. "

Fran Edney reviewed: Blacksmithing Introduction courses in Yorkshire and the North East

"I attended Adrian's workshop on 20th Aug with a little apprehension and nervousness. I wasn't sure I'd be able to create anything. This changed immediately on meeting Adrian and Debbie who were the perfect hosts and put me at ease. I discovered that nothing is impossible if you have someone there, full of patience and knowledge to guide you along and give you the right encouragement. I am so proud of what I achieved and my family are impressed. I would recommend this to anyone of any age."

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

"Absolutely fantastic experience. Adrian, Andrew & Debbie were very welcoming and friendly. The techniques were demonstrated and explained, and the guys were on hand to provide advice if and when required. There was a real sense of achievement watching a solid bar start to shape up into a dragon, something I thought it would never do! The food was delicious too - definitely worth going just for Debbie’s cakes! The day was worth every penny and I wouldn’t hesitate in going back."

Peter Carr reviewed: Blacksmithing Introduction courses in Yorkshire and the North East

"A fantastic day out! I would highly recommend the course to anyone that has even the slightest interest or curiosity around the blacksmith trade. The welcome on arrival was very friendly and everyone at the forge was made to feel comfortable. Both Adrian and Andy's knowledge is second to none and both are very friendly and helpful during the entire process. A big shout out most also go to the food and the amazing Debbie, who made sure that no one was without food or drink throughout the day. It must also be said, that the food was amazing! Don't go on a full stomach!"
