Beginners' Blacksmithing Workshop
Have you ever wanted to try your hand at the traditional art of Blacksmithing? Well here is your chance!
Following the great success of our first blacksmithing workshop, we are delighted to welcome back Elliott Franklin-Brown from the Rutledge St Forge for another beginners' workshop on Saturday 24 October 2020.
During this workshop you will learn about different forge design, hammering techniques, tongs and tools, as well as a variety of blacksmithing skills including drawing steel into a taper, fullering, slitting and twisting steel.
By the end of the day participants will have made several S-hooks, leaf hooks and - if time permits - a pot rack or hanging rack.
Tickets will be on sale soon via Eventbrite - watch this space!
