This is the perfect gift idea for anyone who's ever wanted to learn the ancient craft of blacksmithing.
During this full-day blacksmithing experience, you'll step inside a traditional working forge and discover the fascinating craft of shaping hot metal by hand. Guided by an experienced blacksmith, you'll begin by learning about the essential tools of the trade, traditional forging techniques and how to safely use the forge to heat and manipulate steel.
Once you've mastered the basics, it's time to fire up the forge! You'll learn how to bend, shape and work glowing metal using age-old blacksmithing methods, discovering how heat and hammer work together to transform a simple piece of steel into something truly special.
Throughout the day, you'll create a selection of handmade items to take home, which may include keyrings, Viking-style knives, fire pokers and bottle openers. Every piece is individually forged by hand, making each one completely unique and a lasting reminder of an incredible experience.
No previous blacksmithing experience is required, making this forge experience in Suffolk ideal for complete beginners. It's especially popular as a birthday gift, giving you the chance to enjoy a memorable day out together while learning an impressive new skill.
