Escape to the Fair Mile Forge nestled in Leominster, Herefordshire, for this special two and a half day Swordsmith Course where you'll be perfecting the ancient art of Blacksmithing to create your own sword. If you've got some practical skills with metalwork already under your belt and fancy advancing to the next stage of your Blacksmith journey, this is the perfect experience. Alongside Matt and Floyd you'll be guided through how to work the metal over the course of 2 ½ days and will be taught tried and tested traditional techniques to create a classically designed sword with a blade, cross guard, handle and pommel. There's a great satisfaction to be had when you complete making each section and then embark on the task of perfect assembly, with the end product resembling a work of forged artistry you can keep forever.
