Well, they’re back again at the Land of Oak & Iron Heritage Centre with their fantastic workshops learning the ancient art of Blacksmithing using tools and practices that have been used for over a thousand years!

You will be guided through the process with support throughout, enabling you to create your very own beautifully crafted ironwork by the end of the session.   In these workshops you will be hand forging a bottle opener..

Heat the iron in the flames of the forge, hammer and bend, twist and notch into shape on the anvil, and learn cooling techniques to finish your piece. You can then take your finished piece away, a truly individual and unique gift, or to use in your own home.

So why not treat yourself to this great workshop – learning the traditional skill of Blacksmithing and taking away something special that you have hand-made yourself.  Come along with a friend, or maybe buy the workshop experience for someone special.
