Forge Workshops
If you are reading this is because at some point you were interested in the world of traditional forging.
What I intend with these workshops is to bring you closer to the world of forging, to let you see it from the inside and soak in it.1 We are going to get dirty, sweat, get dirty again and, at the end of the day, you will know firsthand how a traditional coal forge works.
Keep in mind that this is no reality-show, this is not “Forged by Fire” nor are we going to make our own super knife in two days without really having any idea what we are doing or why.
Together with me you will learn the basics of the craft and together we will see the most common working techniques, which can be applied to the creation of a knife, yes, but also to the creation of any other piece you can imagine.
In my forge I don't have electricity. Here we work the old-fashioned way, as it has always been done and you can see for yourself the results both on the web and on my social networks. We had said that it would be a traditional forging course, right? Well, here we go!
Honestly, I don't expect you to leave here as a blacksmith after a couple of days, that will take a little more time, but I will be glad that I have been able to show you my world, that you have lived it from the inside and that, with the experience still fresh in your memory, you can decide for yourself if someday you want to be one of us. If so, I will be delighted to have had something to do with it.
The duration of these workshops is designed to be developed in a couple of days, usually on weekends, but do not hesitate to ask me for availability on other days, sure we can adapt. For this or any other question you can write me at fornleidh@gmail.com and I will tell you all the details.
