I loved my hot and sweaty experience. The size of the group (3) was just right for all of us to gain a bit of blasksmithing. A great way to sample this ancient art. Thanks to all involved

What a fantastic way to spend a few hours. I loved it and hope to book again soon. Greg was brilliant, explaining everything in a very easy to follow way and helped when needed.

An excellent morning which I thoroughly enjoyed. As a recently retired DT teacher it was good to practice some of the skills I had previously taught. It was also good to take away a product that I was proud of making.
