+ One Day Craft Course Hot Metal Works
Welcome to our Blacksmith Experience Day!
Join us in our historic and atmospheric forge in Tilford, Surrey. Step back in time and craft steel with just fire, an anvil and a hammer – just like the Blacksmiths that came before.
You will learn six of the basic blacksmithing techniques during the day which culminates with the completion of a hook and poker to take home.

+ Requirements and Additional Information
Full cost of the day is to be paid at the time of booking.
The day starts at 10am, depending on attendees progress, lunch will between 12am and 1pm, and the day finishes usually around 4pm, but I have had attendees finish as early as 3pm, and as late as 6pm, depending on their progress during the day.
For safety purposes, you will need to wear steel toe cap boots/shoes, a long-sleeved top and trousers – preferably cotton and no man-made fibres.
Lunch is not supplied. However, there is a museum café on site.
Attendees have to be 18 or over.
I require a minimum of 30 days’ notice prior to the booked date for rescheduling. Courses can only be re-booked if dates are available within that year, and it is the responsibility of the person attending to check dates and re book. The day must be rebooked within the calendar year of the original booking.
Cost of the course is nonrefundable.
