I teach blacksmithing and do my best to inspire people to do what they have never done before. I’ll show you how’s it’s done today and how it was done in the past, From first timers through to more experienced, you will be bending steel like you've never done before. You can buy gift vouchers fast and easily through ClassBento website or book into a Public or private workshop. I want you to be proud of yourself and succeed. You'll walk away with a fine piece of art that just made with your own hands. Don't be surprised when you find yourself saying...."I didn't know I had it in me. Check out what I just made"
