Blacksmith craft skills can be learned by attending any one of the day courses run at the Red Anvil Forge in Devon. The courses cater for traditional and contemporary blacksmithing styles and are suitable for all skill levels from complete beginner to expert.

What to expect on the day

Here is an opportunity to experience a full day working as a traditional blacksmith does, using the age-old skills of fire, hammer and hand; to shape and form hot steel on the anvil, working in the surroundings of a professional forge and studio, situated in the wonderful countryside of the South Hams area, in rural Devon, between Plymouth and Kingsbridge.
All skill levels will be catered for, from artisan to artist, men and women, young people and seniors.
This is an open door opportunity to experience the seemingly impossible, but to achieve so much.
The day fee for this educating experience is £85.00 , with a deposit of £20.00 required with the enclosed form.
The fee includes the provision of safety glasses, protective gloves and all materials.
You are invited to take advantage (at no extra cost) of a buffet lunch of locally sourced food. Meet and greet coffee, morning coffee and afternoon tea are included in your day.
We can accommodate most dietary requirements.
