Step into the heat and try your hand at traditional blacksmithing in this one-hour taster session at Wildman Farm. Held in our working coke forge, you’ll learn the basics of working with fire, steel, and hammer to create a small forged item to take home. No prior experience needed, just curiosity and a love for hands-on craft.

To ensure plenty of one-on-one guidance, sessions are limited to two participants. Want to bring more people along? Simply book multiple sessions back-to-back and make it a shared experience. Onlookers are always welcome!

Set in the heart of our farm’s purpose-built forge, this immersive session is perfect for anyone wanting to experience the age-old trade in a relaxed and welcoming environment. All tools and materials are provided. Come as you are and leave with something uniquely yours.

You’ll have the chance to make something practical, like a coat hook, S-hook for macramé, leaf keyring, or letter opener, or something a little more fun and creative, like a decorative snail or a twisted steel bracelet. For safety, we recommend wearing cotton clothing and closed-in shoes (you’ll be working with fire and hot metal, after all!).

Afterwards, stay for a warm tea or coffee inside our barn while exploring our free SALA exhibition ‘The Living Plains’ and discover what else you can create at Wildman Farm.

Children aged 12 and over are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult. Each attendee, including the accompanying adult, must purchase their own ticket.

Saturdays & Private Classes - Available by request.
