Always wanted to make your own garden gate and get your hands dirty then this is the course for you.

On this 2 day course we will help you to craft your very own working gate.

First Day we spend some time discussing your project and figure out how to turn your drawings / concepts in to real items. Then you will be let loose to forge, weld, fabricate and craft your concept with experienced craftsmen on hand to help you along the way.

Project size restrictions apply for full details please get in touch prior to booking. typically a 1m wide by 1m high gate is achievable withing the time available.

The courses are run by professional full time blacksmith Will Holland FWCB of Phoenix Forge. The courses are typically run in small groups to ensure that everyone gets as much one on one tuition as they require to develop their skills.

The courses are run in a dedicated professional forge, which is relaxed working environment you will be given the time to progress at your own speed to build your confidence in working with the tools and the hot metal.

If you have done some forging already that’s great too, we can demonstrate more elaborate techniques and tricks to help you progress further.
