A DAY AT THE ANVIL
Step back into the traditional world of the village blacksmith.
Come and experience the heat, sound and craft of a historic forge.
Under the guidance of an experienced blacksmith, you will learn the fundamentals of working hot iron. From the fire and anvil to hammering, shaping and finishing.
This is a hands-on experience, giving you the opportunity to work with traditional tools and techniques and create something of your own to take home.
Choose from a selection of traditional projects, including a Key Ring, Leaf Hook, Fire Poker or Bottle Opener.
Or, if you have an idea of your own, you are welcome to discuss a project (subject to time and materials).
No previous experience necessary.
£185 per person
10am-3pm
Once booked, I will be in contact to finalise your preferred date or use the contact form to discuss prior to booking.
Come and hear the ring of hammer on anvil, feel the warmth of the fire and discover the satisfaction of making something by hand.
Whether you’re looking for a unique experience, a hands-on day out, a memorable gift or simply want to try something completely different, a Blacksmithing Taster Day at The Forge offers the chance to make something for yourself while experiencing a traditional craft in an historic setting.
THE FORGE, BIRCH ROAD, ELLESMERE, SHROPSHIRE, SY12 9AA
