Create a beautiful, handmade decor piece together with this Rose Forging Experience for Two in Kent! Perfect for anniversaries, birthdays, or as a surprise romantic date, this private workshop for two offers an unforgettable day at The Forge, nestled in the scenic Kent countryside. Your day begins with a warm welcome, including tea or coffee, as you and your partner meet with your expert blacksmith tutor, Michael, who will outline the day's plan. You'll see an example of the gorgeous piece you'll create: a freestanding metal rose crafted with traditional forging techniques, complete with two tea light holders on either side. Guided step-by-step, you'll work on every element of this unique piece - from hammering and shaping the rose petals and forming the stems to ceafting the baseplate and finishing with final welds. With Michael's hands-on instruction, you'll experience the full art of blacksmithing. These bespoke experiences, typically available on Fridays, are designed exclusively for two people, with all tools, materials, and safety gear provided for a seamless day of creativity.
