Blacksmithing (Basic Course)

Course details

If you are looking to get started in blacksmithing and want to learn the fundamental forging techniques, this course is the right place to begin. Working at both a gas forge and a field forge, our instructor will teach you the essential methods of hand forging, including drawing out, upsetting, splitting, punching, spreading and scrolling. These techniques allow you to create decorative pieces, garden stakes or small tools.

Instructor

Günter Bleicher

He grew up in the Upper Palatinate and after training as a boilermaker, he went on a traditional travelling journey that took him through numerous European countries, even as far as New Zealand. Whilst travelling, he became acquainted with the fascination of forging on an open fire with an anvil, which never left him and he would like to pass on this enthusiasm and these techniques to you in his courses. In 2000, he set up his own business as a steel sculptor in his forge and studio, where he produces customised and unique pieces of all kinds.
