Andy reviewed: Blacksmithing for Beginners - Full Day Forging for One

"I did a one-day one-to-one blacksmithing course with Chris and had a fantastic time. He is knowledgeable, patient, and great at explaining things in a way that makes sense. He broke everything down into manageable steps and made sure I had plenty of time to try things out for myself. The two projects I did were well thought out and built up nicely through the day, so I felt like I was learning and then reinforcing real skills without being overwhelmed. Chris has a really easy-going, friendly manner which made the whole day really enjoyable and relaxed. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in blacksmithing – whether you’re a total beginner or just want to try something new. A great experience. "
