“The Beginner Blacksmithing Class was a great introduction to the craft, showing us a few different ways of shaping and working metal in a coke forge using tongs, hammer and anvil, and a vice.
Our teacher Ron was very passionate about the craft and has the workshop decorated with projects by him and other students. He carefully instructed us about safety before getting straight into the lesson, getting everyone to watch and then work on their own piece step by step. He encourages a very fun and friendly environment and was a joy to learn from.”
“Great class, plenty of parking right outside, instructions were very clear, but left us enough freedom to try out different things. Had a great time, couldn't recommend a better option if you're looking to try it out.”
“An amazing experience. Ron is an incredibly intuitive, patient and calm teacher. We thoroughly enjoyed the session. A great birthday gift experience which the whole family enjoyed together. We love our ‘S’ hooks that we made. Highly recommended!”
“I had an absolutely amazing time at the blacksmithing class! Ron was fantastic—super patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and just a genuinely lovely person. He made sure everyone felt comfortable, even if you had zero experience (like me!). He walked me through the basics step by step, never making me feel rushed, and was always there to help when I needed it.
What made it even better was Ron’s sense of humor—he cracked jokes the whole time, had great music playing in the background, and created such a relaxed and fun atmosphere. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does, and that passion really shows in the way he teaches.
I walked away not only learning the basics of blacksmithing but also with a sense of accomplishment and some great memories. If you’ve ever thought about trying blacksmithing, don’t miss this class—it’s such a unique and rewarding experience. Ron’s personality and skills truly made it unforgettable!”
