The Forges

Take a look at our forges and what they can offer with unique courses in our traditional or studio forge.

With two forges on the same estate we teach a wide range of courses from highly traditional and authentic forge experience days to modern blacksmithing and fabrication.

Take a look and see what forge offers the experience for you, or why not try a course in both!

Lots of our courses will run in both workshops throughout the year however some are forge specific.
