Your Experience Day
1-2-1 Hands-OTuition

Have you ever wanted to try your hand at working at an anvil, hammer in hand, manipulating hot steel into a useful shape? Well, this may well be your opportunity. My workshop is compact, so you will get one to one tuition, without distractions, on safety, objectives and technique training in basic smithing to enable you to go home with your own knife at the end of the session.

Vision

My hope is that I can pass on some of the enjoyment that I get from crafting with metal and other materials to produce a useful object.


I have long been a 'maker of things', but attending an excellent blade making experience day with a Master was the trigger that set me on my current path.

​

Come and join me for a day and see what you can learn.

I had a great day with Andrew in his workshop. From the moment I got there until I left, Andrew did everything possible to make my experience the best. By the end of the day, I had a knife I was proud to take home and show my family, from working the metal, to adding a handle, Andrew had it all covered. Thanks for an amazing day
