Chalk Pit Forge

Orla reviewed: One to one, One day, blacksmith course

"I was lucky enough to be gifted the two day blacksmithing experience with Alex and what an experience it was! He educated me on a lot of the history behind such a unique trade, the various tools within the forge and where his love and learning of this skill stemmed from. I loved getting to create my very own pieces, with Alex's calm and confident guidance. I made a Lily sculpture for my garden and a dragon bottle open for my friend. Getting to work in such an old forge at Amberley Working Museum - which has seen many a creation made, added to the magical experience I had. I'm very proud of what I was able to make with Alex's knowledgable tuition and will definitely be turning my hand to the heat again someday in the future. Ps.... The snacks were very welcomed too! 👍"

"Fantastic day at the forge. Alex was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and happy to accommodate little flourishes to add to the day. Arms still sore from all the 'bashing' but see it as a sign of a good day at the forge! Would highly recommend! "
