A Traditional Blacksmith’s Forge in the Heart of the Herefordshire Countryside, combining traditional blacksmithing techniques and craftsmanship with modern technology to produce the finest quality bespoke ironmongery for homes and businesses.
The team of expert blacksmiths is dedicated to preserving the ancient traditions of the craft, with a love and respect for the long heritage of handmade ironmongery, yet using these skills to forge contemporary as well as traditional pieces
Blacksmithing courses are available all year round, and taught in a relaxed and friendly environment, where you will leave at the end of the day with a ring that you will cherish forever – along with a special story to be told.
Discover the fundamentals of ring making and learn the traditional techniques involved. Whilst your ring is annealing, enjoy lunch either in the open air in our picnic area or, if you prefer, take advantage of our Scandinavian lodge or Shepherds hut. This is very much a “hands-on” day that will enable you to craft your very own ring.
