Description
Enjoy a 1/2 day introduction to Blacksmithing. The process of heating and forging hot metal is fun, fascinating and should be enjoyed by everyone, albeit pretty hard work but rewarding. The day starts at 9:30am where you’ll meet at the forge, for a complimentary hot drink, followed by a brief safety talk.
The master forger will then demonstrate the first piece you’ll forge, guiding you through the process. Then it’s hammers to the ready and get to forging some hot metal!! You’ll forge a fire poker and coat hooks throughout the day using a variety of techniques and tooling, then leave with your handy work at around 12.30-1pm.

Fully accredited Blacksmith from the National School of Blacksmithing who has been running his own Forge since 2016 at a Sawmill, set in the beautiful Shropshire hills near Ludlow. “Thanks to Jake’s patient and calm teaching” you’ll have no problem getting to grips with the fire and will be swinging a hammer with intent in no time!
Working out of his Forge near Ludlow set in the beautiful Shropshire hills, Jake offers a range of Blacksmithing courses, an online shop and takes on sculptural, architectural & decorative Ironwork commissions of any sort.
Jake enrolled at the National School of Blacksmithing in 2012 and 3 years later left a fully accredited Blacksmith with the highest possible marks achieved. Whilst still at college Jake secured a job at a local forge and began work before the term had ended. Working on a wide range of jobs from large architectural work, to delicately forged items was an invaluable learning experience.
