Just released a date back to the calendar as we had to swap someone around!

Sunday 15th November (space for one or two for a full day, or two for a half-day) is now available for you to book should you wish to try your hand at being a blacksmith for a day.

I'm pretty fully booked over the coming weeks (thank you!), so a chance to book up if you thought you couldn't!

Please follow the link in the comments below to book.......

Fancy something made on the forge, but by me and not you?

Then please head over to my Etsy shop and see what's up for grabs.......and all made by yours truly!

(If you are an early shopper, perhaps there is a metalwork gift that would suit a friend or loved one - it's free shipping too).

Please follow the link the comments below.

October is now fully booked - thank you all.

Plenty of options in Nov/Dec to come and warm up & get creative at the forge.

Link for calendar in comments below......see you there!

I have space next weekend at the forge (26th or 27th September) if you fancy doing something a little different next weekend!

A full day for one or two, or you can book a half-day for two if you prefer.

Link to calendar and all the relevant info in the comments below.

Hope to see you there - Jo

Why not come and be a blacksmith for a day (no previous experience is necessary)....

You can book a full day for one or two (small discount if you book both spaces) or a half-day for two only.

I have two forges and two anvils, so there is no sharing of equipment, and lots of tuition as required from me! Some outfits have multiple forges and lots of people attending at once, this is just one or two people at a time (you can add a couple of extras to your group if you wish, as long as you are willing to share).

AVAILABILITY at the time of writing:

Sept: Thursday 24th, Friday 25th or Saturday 26th (space for one or two for a full day or two for a half-day on each date).

Oct: Thursday 29th, Friday 30th or Saturday 31st (space for one or two for a full day or two for a half-day on each date).

November & December, still plenty of options. Please check the calendar in the comments below for availability and to book.

Can't see a date you want - please ask!

There's been some jiggling and juggling of the diary!

September is all changed, so there might be a day with your name on it now!

I've popped a link to the calendar in the comments below, as the date you wanted to book might just now be free ;-)

Hope to see you at the forge very soon......

It's September next week......
Don't shoot the messenger (we can't believe it's come around so quickly too).

Here's what's available at the forge next month:

10th, 11th, 12th or 13th September - spaces for one or two for a full day, or a half-day for two
27th September - full day for one only

You don't need any prior experience, you don't have to share equipment or tools (you have your own forge and anvil to work with), lots of personal tuition as there are only one or two of you at each day, and learn a new and very traditional skill using your hands - why not come and be a blacksmith for a day.

I popped a link to the booking calendar in the comments below.

Hope you are enjoying a cooler day today.

It's been tough these past few weeks, as too hot for forging, so I had to push so many people to different dates.

Hopefully we are through the worst and can start planning and enjoying courses again!

If you fancy a trip to the forge in the coming weeks, I'd be delighted to welcome you for some fun at the forge. No previous experience is necessary, everything is provided for you, you have your own forge and anvil to work on and lots of help from me (as required).

After a tough summer, it would be great to see you.

Just updated calendar to the end of 2026! No excuse not to get your date booked in :-)

Hope to see you at the forge soon.

Fancy a day out at the forge?

Try your hand at something completely new (no experience necessary), or come back to something you haven't done since school?

Why not be a blacksmith for a day?

You don't need any previous experience; I will teach you traditional techniques using the forge, anvil and hammer, and you will come away with something you have made with your own hands. I have two forges and two anvils, so there is no sharing of equipment and lots of tuition (as required). This is about you trying something different and creative; I'm there to guide you and help only when necessary.

Spaces available from September onwards, just pop to the diary and choose a date to suit. Please follow the link in the comments below.

You can come on your own, with a friend, or try a half-day experience (half-days are for two only).

Summer holidays can be great fun, and also, if you have family, slightly exhausting! Why not treat yourself to some me-time and get creative with metal, using your own hands to make something to take home and treasure.

August is fully booked (and it's a little warm for forging at the moment), so why not get organised and get a date in the autumn sorted. Hope to see you at the forge very soon.
