- Stephen Kirk·
My friend and I undertook the one day course. It was fun, well paced, amazingly informative, safe as well as scary.
To say be both left with two pieces of work which families couldn't believe we actually forgedmeans Annabelle knows her stuff and teaches it effectively. Thoroughly enjoyable and would absolutely recommend to anyone fit enough to stand for a few hours and wield forging hammer. Just brilliant. - Ben F··from Google
We spent a day here for my dad's Christmas present (for a bit of background he's a former merchant navy engineer and loves stuff like this). It went down a storm, he was (and is) still on about how much fun he had making his key in the afternoon session.
Annabelle was great and patient and we had an excellent day. - Kieran Horn··from Google
