I'm Richard, a traditionally trained blacksmith with a passion for ironwork. I trained at Hereford's National School of Blacksmithing which gave me an excellent start into the world of forging metal. I moved to Yorkshire to be close to family and start my own business, which has given me the opportunity to offer classes so that others can have a taste of what it is like to be a blacksmith.
Some examples of what can be made in the class can be seen in the gallery.
"My son and I had a great morning with Richard. He explained everything clearly and we got to do loads with the metal and came away having really enjoyed our time and with a knife and a bottle opener that we will enjoy using too."
"Absolutely loved making my own sword. Richard was great, he had the knowledge and skills to ensure I made a sword to be proud of. He only stepped in when I was needing some help and guidance and I have to say he is a big part of what makes this experience one you will always remember."
"Had a great day, Richard was very knowledgable and couldn’t have done more for us. The drinks and snacks that were provided were a nice touch. Managed to make a bottle opener and a knife. Would absolutely come back."
