Jonathan Howell reviewed: Arrow smithing (full day)

"On Thursday 18th December, I spent a thoroughly enjoyable day under the expert tuition of Adam Jenkins creating mediaeval arrow-heads. For me it was an historical way 'in' to my first - and I hope not last - experience of 'blacksmithing'. Adam led me step-by-confident-step through the process, while we talked about the history of blacksmithing and the use of bows and swords in the past and their portrayal in films, theatre and television. I cannot recommend a day with Adam highly enough."

Now Strike Archery Ltd responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review Jonathan, it was a real pleasure to spend a day with you in the forge - your arrow heads were excellent too. Really glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience including all the geeky chat - hope to see you again soon Adam"

Alex reviewed: Blacksmithing taster days (half day)

"This was such a great experience. I left with new skills and am already thinking about how I can establish a small forge somewhere. I recommend this to anyone; very accessible, very fun, and Adam is a great tutor."

Now Strike Archery Ltd responded:

"Thank you so much Alex, I am really pleased that you enjoyed yourself and certainly hope to see you again soon Best wishes Adam"

Debs reviewed: Blacksmithing taster days (half day)

"I did this course with my friend. Only two other people on the session & so we got a lot of experience & information as well as help. We throughly enjoyed the few hours & would highly recommend. Don't just think about it, book it. You won't regret it & get to take home a piece that is hand made by you. "

Tom Smart reviewed: Blacksmith experience day: Make a BBQ Fork

"I had a great day with Adam, 3 or less participants, easy to find. Adam is very friendly and knowledgeable. He explained all health and safety aspects and all the smithing steps involved in making our toasting fork. Very hands on course, and can get very physical during the day with the amount of hammering to be done. Adam always on hand to guide and assist. At the end of the day I did feel I had achieved something, I made a toasting fork and appreciate a bit more of what’s involved. I would certainly recommend this day. "
