About the experience
Get ready to roll up your sleeves and do some hard, physical work in this 3 Hour Blacksmith Experience in a fully working forge in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. It's not every day you get the chance to learn an art form which has a history spanning centuries, and alongside the traditionally trained blacksmith, Richard, you'll get a practical insight into how ironworks were made all those years ago. As you learn the fundamentals of blacksmithing and just how much force and heat is required to wield metal, you'll be working to create your bespoke piece to take home with you. Whether you go down the route of a fire poker, bottle opener or candle stick is entirely up to you! But it's safe to say there's nothing better than doing an experience where you get to take part of it home with you. Alongside five other students, all the tools and materials will be provided and some well needed refreshments along the way. Nestled in a quaint Yorkshire village which is worth visiting all on its own, why not take a visit to this working Forge for a step back in time, and have the chance to learn a new skill as you get stuck into the metal making world and get your graft on to make something truly spectacular.
