The Experience

Looking for a unique gift that’s bound to spark some serious interest? This Hook & Poker Blacksmith Experience is just what you need! 

Perfect for anyone who’s ever wanted to try their hand at blacksmithing, this hands-on experience lets you create two essential tools for the ultimate cosy fireside experience: a poker and a hook to hang it from.

No prior blacksmithing experience? No problem! This course is designed with beginners in mind, offering a fun and engaging way to get stuck in. You’ll start with a brew, a friendly workshop tour, and an all-important safety talk (complete with your own PPE). Then, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and get forging! With a maximum of just six participants, you’ll enjoy plenty of one-on-one attention from an expert instructor, ensuring you get all the guidance you need as you work with your very own gas forge and hand tools.

By the end of the day, you’ll have crafted a poker, which you can leave pointed for an open fire or bend over to suit a log stove. You’ll also make a hook, both lasting items that will be a true conversation starter when they’re put to use at home. Throughout the experience, you’ll be introduced to different techniques like freehand forming on the anvil, using jigs in the vice, and mastering a variety of hand tools. As this is a full day blacksmith experience, you’ll be treated to a hearty lunch to keep you fuelled for all the forging ahead. 

Whether you’re buying for a fire-loving partner or a mate who’s into trying something new, this is an unforgettable day that’ll give them something to show off for years to come!
