"I had an amazing time with Richard. He is very knowledgeable and patient. I'd highly recommend any of his courses. We spent the full day together and he carefully explained every step and guided me through any areas I was struggling with. A genuine pleasure. "

Peter Britnell reviewed: Couple - Blacksmith Beginners Experience Day

"I booked the blacksmithing day as a birthday present for my brother, and it turned out to be an incredible experience for both of us! Neither of us had done anything like this before, but Richard was an amazing teacher, knowledgeable, patient, and great at explaining everything in a way that made it easy to follow. We felt really supported throughout the day and were so proud of the pieces we created entirely by hand. The whole experience was hands-on, rewarding, and genuinely fun. Highly recommend this course to anyone looking to try something new, you’ll walk away with a great memory and something you’ve made yourself!"
