Service Description
Unleash Your Inner Artisan: Forge a Stunning Ram's Head Poker in Our Full-Day Blacksmithing Adventure at Fairmile Forge! Dive into the captivating world of blacksmithing with our hands-on introductory workshop – a perfect blend of creativity, skill-building, and pure excitement! Under the expert guidance of our passionate blacksmith Matt, you'll spend an unforgettable day transforming a simple bar of iron into your very own exquisite ram's head fire poker – a functional masterpiece to treasure and display at home. This immersive full-day experience kicks off with essential safety training and an introduction to our authentic coke forges and tools, followed by foundational forging techniques. Then, step by step, Matt will lead you through a series of thrilling processes: forging and twisting the horns, folding and fire-welding for strength, sculpting the intricate facial features, scrolling the horns for that elegant flair, and finally bending and twisting the poker into its perfect shape. Whether you're a complete novice or have a spark of experience, you'll be amazed at what you can create! We provide all the high-quality tools and materials, so just show up ready for some glorious, hands-on fun. Dress comfortably in cotton attire like jeans and shirts (embrace the authentic forge marks as badges of honor!), and avoid synthetics like acrylic or nylon to keep things safe. Stay energized with complimentary tea and coffee throughout the day, and bring a packed lunch or let us arrange a scrumptious takeaway from the cozy local pub, The Kings Head in Docklow – a delightful spot for hearty fare. Join us from 9:30am to around 5pm, and walk away with your beautifully hand-forged ram's head poker, ready to ignite conversations and warm your hearth. Questions or eager to reserve your spot?
