Saturday 26 April 2025 to Sunday 07 December 2025 (WEEKLY event)
Overview
Come spend a Saturday at this hands-on workshop, and go home with your very own hand-forged results to show for it!
You will experience shaping steel with hammer and fire, as well as learn a bit about the forge, anvil, tools and techniques used when making a chef blade.
Included:
Blacksmithing overview: Tools, processes, safety briefing
All materials required (carbon steel, hammers, tongs, anvil, gas forge, PPE)
Forging your project(s) with a hammer and anvil
Quenching the blade in oil and grinding to your design
All instructions and support required
Please note: To send you home with something you can use in the kitchen for years to come in a single day they attach a ready-made wooden handle at the end of the day; you will not make the handle.
Suitable for anyone over 16 years old with an interest in blacksmithing. Anyone able to lift a one-kilogram hammer over the head and hammer 'for a while' (they will help if you get tired).
