  • Basic Blacksmithing

    The instructor was knowledgable, but not a very great teacher at all. He was impatient and constantly insulted me and the work I did. I've taken many courses on this platform and this was by far the my worse experience.

    Purchased as a birthday present for my boyfriend. He had an AMAZING time and highly reccomends this class for anyone interested in blacksmithing.

    A little tight place to work but the apprentice helped us out a lot A weird place to work you wouldn’t know that the forge was even there it was difficult to find at first. Not sure the price is right but the experience was fun.
  • Basic Blacksmithing

    Charlie and Rachel were great to learn from. It was amazing how easy to learn some of the basics and even make a decorative pot s-hook in just a short time. I'm looking forward to working with them in the future.
  • Basic Blacksmithing

    Excellent course! Charlie is a phenomenal teacher and a kind man, and the course is structured to give students hands-on experience completing a project that exposes them to the core skills of blacksmithing while giving them a great piece to take home. Highly recommended!
