Step into the world of traditional blacksmithing with a half-day course for one on the stunning Roseland Peninsula, near Truro. Hosted by skilled blacksmith Ronen, these hands-on experiences take place in a charming workshop set right by a peaceful creek of the River Fal—a truly idyllic spot at the end of a country lane off the road to St Mawes. Your half-day experience begins with a warm welcome from Ronen, a passionate and highly skilled artisan. With a background in architecture, he brings an eye for detail and design to his beautifully crafted, functional pieces. Under his expert guidance, you’ll use traditional forging techniques to create your own unique item—perhaps a fire poker, bottle opener, or another handcrafted treasure. Come dressed for action—it gets hot and messy in the forge, so long sleeves are essential! Workshops are open to ages 12 and up, as long as teens are accompanied by an adult. With a breathtaking setting, expert tuition, and the satisfaction of forging your own keepsake, this blacksmithing experience in Cornwall is one not to miss!
